    I don’t know if this has ever happened to you but it happens to me way too often. I meet someone and at first blush I’m excited because they seem to be as committed to the same ideas as me. However, over time, I realize we aren’t alike as I thought.

    Swallowed Up

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”
