Thursday I drove from Ft Worth to Amarillo. I’ve done it several times and lived to tell about it. So, what made it so different this time? It was 86 degrees when I left Thursday afternoon.

Battle Song
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.” King Jehoshaphat kept walking back to Jerusalem.

Elijah’s hands were shaking as he left King Ahab. God’s voice was clear. “Go to the Brook Cherith. You will drink the water from it. Ravens will bring you food.
