- “We are walkers through the city of this world, and we are often called to go out into its darkness; let us never venture there without the light giving word, lest we slip with our feet. Each man should use the word of God personally, practically, and habitually, that he may see his way and see

I was out in the front yard working in my flower beds this past Thursday with my grandson when this bird came and rested in the tree right next to where we were.
