Transforming the Motley Crew into World Changers
Today, May 9th, the 40 days since Easter have all passed and today we celebrate our Lord’s ascension into heaven where He sits now at the right hand of the Father. AND, more than that – He also lives in our hearts through the Holy Spirit – right here and right now! Picture this: a…
Using Our Lightning-Fast Minds
I’m remembering today with MY “not as fast-lightning mind” as I once had.
