Dear Colleagues and Friends, A few weeks ago, I worked with church leaders in a beautiful state park in Indiana. Before I shut my eyes that first night for a good night’s sleep, I checked my phone for the next day’s weather forecast. I noticed the snow icon and went to bed with the expectation of some light snowfall. When I raised my blinds that next morning, my expectation of slight snowfall was exceeded by a wintry blanket of six inches of snow on the ground. What a glorious surprise and wondrous way to start the day and a weekend retreat with church leaders! |

Recordings are also available with interpretation in Spanish, and some in Korean as well.
