Over the last couple of days, I’ve been thinking, and marveling over the fact that God has written a book about my life.

October 21, 2019

For most of my life I’ve been quite a “Professional Seeker and Discoverer of Issues and Trouble Areas.” Seeing “what’s wrong” or “what could go wrong” has always been what I’ve seen and focused on, because it’s what I was looking for.
