Making it Impossible to Not Think About God
I just had such a great quiet time this morning (amongst the playing toddlers!). I was working on a Bible study and was filling out a little "question/survey" form put together by Priscilla Shirer. It just made me think. I think it would be a good exercise for each and every one of you. Do you feel like it is all in vain? Do you feel like you go through the motion of serving God?

Have you ever been in a really hard spot, a spot that leaves you breathless and weak and you have no idea where to go from here?
