I was driving home from work a few days ago in the middle of rush hour traffic when a car pulled up beside me and proceeded to cut right in front of my car. I watched as five other cars came and did the same farther up the row. I was so irritated that people … More Living a Life That’s All In
“The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.
