There is a place in the corner where the light fades and a shadow falls. There is nothing else there, just empty space. That is where God took me tonight. I thought it was odd. That small step, of what seemed like insignificant obedience, revealed to me how much God wants me in His presence. ... Continue Reading →
Imagine for a moment, that "I just simply love you" that was the thought that came to me as I was walking on the treadmill this morning.
