    The Bible says that the Spirit of God is the Person who produces peace and patience and power in our lives. If I want more peace, more patience and more power, then I must want an ongoing influence of God’s Spirit in my life.

    This past week, my patience and peace were being tested. Maryanne and I had gone to Texas for the weekend to a pastors and wives meeting. We had scheduled a non-stop flight from Dallas to Cleveland that would get us home at 6:00 on Tuesday afternoon. We had a great trip but we were ready to be ...read more
