The last two months have been an absolute blur. By temperament, I am a very forward-looking person, and to be perfectly honest, right now I am sitting at my computer trying to remember what has happened over the last couple of months. I som [...]
I hope you’ll forgive me as I skip over the typical preliminary greetings. The last two months have been some of the most blessed and difficult of any we’ve experienced here in Dapitan. God gave us a tremendous conference in October, our pe [...]
In Psalm 119:32, David makes a great statement: “I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.” I WANT TO RUN FOR MY GOD. I don’t want to walk. I don’t want to jog. I dead sure don’t want to sit. I WANT TO RUN! W [...]
