A song, some of us learned while children – the B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me, I stand upon the word of God, the B-I-B-L-E. There is an inherent sense of divine perspective that I get while reading the Bible. The book breathes life to me. Yes, it is hard to understand historical recollections
Every person has a need for God’s presence. I do too. Without God’s manifest presence I worry too much. The Passion Translation reflects my thoughts about God’s presence: My heart will not be afraid even if an army rises to attack. I know that you are there for me, so I will not be shaken. Here’s
