This afternoon, around supper time, we got hit hard with a rain storm, wind along with thunder and lightening.

This is the 4th part of a four part study I have posted on other groups. I actually began this study 34 years ago while in Bible College. Edward





18 I can guarantee this truth: When you were young, you would get ready to go where you wanted. But when you're old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will get you ready to take you where you don't want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to show by what kind of death Peter would bring glory to God. After saying this, Jesus told… Continue
