Under The Influence

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jul 30, 2013

When a person is, "under the influence," it changes the way they act and behave. God wants to influence us and put spices into us that will change the flavor of our life.

And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

Good morning. It is great to be back in the ‘burgh rain and all. For some of you who don’t know, I was away for a few weeks for a sabbatical.

I was particularly interested because my brother Jeremy up in Alaska was in the merchant marine. And then I got even more interested, ...read more
