Thank You, God

As you listen to this song, I want to share an experience I had today while driving the FedEx truck down a dirt road.  A bald eagle flew off a tree beside me and slowly flew just in front of my truck at about a few feet above me.  Then as Chris Tomlin sang “I [...]

Aha!!

I recently had an “aha” moment. You know, those times when you hear something, and think to yourself, “aha, I get it”. Well, it was one of those moments. I made the connection between our valleys of life and the trials that God gives us. It is during these times that God is testing our [...]
