Being PLANTED and REPLANTED

He Leads Me By Still and Rough Waters
How reassuring it is to know our great Shepherd is ever watching over His sheep (that’s you and me) to guide, lead, protect and even discipline us when we need to be corrected. If someone asks how I know God’s not dead–I just tell them “I spoke to Him today, and He spoke to me.”…
