I have always been a worshiper. Perhaps because the Evangelist who led me to Christ was such an ardent worshiper, I simply followed her lead when I gave my life to Christ. Or maybe it's something that was always buried somewhere deep within me. Somehow, even before I...
Allow me to share this story, narrated to me by a friend a few weeks ago. I'll call her Dee. In the late 80's, my friend Dee was a young Christian, a teenager, eager to serve the Lord. At some point, Dee became aware of a certain...
On the day I turned 25, I decided to get myself a nose ring - a nice little gold-plated one, right here on the side of my nose. For some reason, nose rings were all the rage that year, and every young girl worth her batting...
By the time I came to Christ, I knew very little about the Bible; I couldn't even tell who came first - Abraham or David! So, being what you might call the scholarly type, I decided to go back to school and acquire the necessary papers. Naturally,...
My youngest daughter is a great swimmer. Loves the water, could spend most of her life in it, if it were possible. I remember her at 2 years old, "swimming" full lengths with me. She couldn't really swim of course, but would paddle determinedly next to me,...

Gideon is a worried man. A most uneasy one, I would imagine. He has gathered 32,000 great men of war, from Manasseh, his tribesmen. And from Asher, Zebulun and Naphtali.. Good strong, men.
