I spent the last half of the past three weeks delivering windows from Ft. Worth to Wichita Falls to Amarillo to Lubbock to Odessa to San Angelo to Abilene back to Ft. Worth.

ISRAEL’S KING
David paced the roof of his home. His thoughts were of his nation’s future. A prayer came to his lips. “LORD, I need You now. My heart is heavy for Your people. We’ve been at war with ourselves.

MERCY, JUSTICE AND GRACE
David led his men to the banks of the Brook Besor at a jog. The water was high from the spring rains. A few of the men dropped to their knees. One man passed out. A young man grabbed David’s arm. “I can’t go on. We need to rest here and eat.” Joab grabbed David’s… Continue reading MERCY, JUSTICE AND GRACE
