“You’re Going the Wrong Way!”

I grew up in a time when there were no smart phones and no GPS. Everyone relied on paper maps to find the best route to their destination. Sometimes the map did not make sense and you found yourself going in circles. When you discovered you were lost, one option was to ask someone for […]

Prayer Journey — Rejection

I pray this morning that those who reject you dear God would get a glimpse of you today. May your light break through the darkness and illumine their soul if even for a moment. I pray the evidence of your existence would compel them to seek you. May your presence become more evident when they […]
