Have I told you I love the scriptures? I get so excited when I read about a principle in the word of God and then hear or see the same principle somewhere in my everyday life.

The Dailies, Tools or Weapons?
The Lord and I are involved in a building project together. It’s an upgrade on me. The plans for the project are for the building of a temple.
