By the way, I got a prayer handkerchief in the mail about two-three weeks ago. It was a fundraising approach by an interdenominational group and it cited Acts 19 as its affirmation. They missed the point! Even as the people snuggling together under Peter’s shadow missed the point. The power—the

My name? Oh, I’m Steady—because that’s what Abraham always called me.
I’m not fast, I’m not fancy—but I can walk a long way without complaining.
I’ve carried all kinds of things for my master: water, wood, even tents through the desert wind.
But one morning, he packed something different—firewood

Picking up the large bails of hay and carrying them to the horse pasture was not the easiest job. I could only carry one bail at a time, my friends who worked at the barn however were able to carry one in each hand and then toss them with ease once in the pasture. I would struggle under the weight

Which reminds me of something I heard about a famous preacher by the name of Peter Cartwright, who by the way, was converted during a camp meeting in Logan County in 1801. He surrendered to the ministry in 1802 and became one of the leaders of what we now refer to as the 2nd Great Awakening.
