Those who have flown a plane know the joy of flying, of using the wind in your favor, and floating above and seeing all the beauty below you. One of the ways to describe being with God is floating above the world and seeing everything below. We realize how small and insignificant is everything. We…
Those who are blessed with gifts do have to pay a cost for them. Many singers get name and fame yet end up taking sleeping pills, drugs, and alcohol. They lose their privacy and go through major ups and downs of fame. If you have the gift of predicting the future, the suspense in your…
