Contentment

Chrysalis — Fri, 21 May 2010 20:51:00 +0000

The past few days I have been burdened for a deeper intimacy with the Lord. I read the story of Moses who who so close with the Lord that he spoke face to face with the Lord. His face would glow after each encounter. So it was perfect timing when I received a devotional email [...]

Man Made Light

Chrysalis — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:53:18 +0000

Under Attack?
