A Divine Appointment
January 5, 2008 in The Story Unfolds
About 10 days after coming home from the hospital, I went back to work.

Psalm 23: 4
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.”

Entering the Valley
January 4, 2008 in Spiritual Warfare, The Story Unfolds

January 2, 2008 in Spiritual Warfare, The Story Begins
As we were watching TV one evening, we heard a loud thump from the upstairs bedroom. Certain that one of the boxes stored in our spare bedroom had fallen, I went upstairs to check. Nothing.
