Adventure Have you ever been on an excursion, maybe a cruise or safari, not having ever seen what you are experiencing each day? Most are magical, some even breathtaking. Man has always been given to explore the unknown, the not yet seen. Ask the founding fathers of America, those astronauts going into space, or the […]
I am This is such a familiar verse, used especially during Easter. It is one of many “I am” statements in scripture describing who God is, and since Jesus is fully God, it refers to who he is. I am who I am; I am the good shepherd; I am the bread of life, I […]
