And we need to share our story. Not with everyone but with someone. There is someone who is like you were. And he or she needs to know what God can do. Your honest portrayal of your past may be the courage for another's future.

I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

We are presumptuous not when we marvel at His grace, but when we reject it.

Fear may fill our world, but it doesn’t have to fill our hearts.

Thats usually what I gravitate to, I read The Perfect Storm, then I read Into Thin Air .

There is something about keeping Him divine that keeps Him distant, packaged, predictable. But don't do it. For heaven's sake, don't. Let Him be as human as He intended to be. Let Him into the mire and muck of our world. For only if we let Him in can He pull us out.

A nation is blessed when it has godly leaders.
