Holy One, We come to you this morning with all of who we are, and all of who we are not. We bring our broken hearts, our raging souls, our doubting minds and lay them out for You to see. We know we haven’t done enough, and at the same time we wonder what else… Read More

Give me BIG ears today, with deep wells in which to hear what is being said to me, the messages offered in the words spoken.
