On September 27, 2009 By

So, I always knew and I firmly believe that God can do any­thing — absolutely any­thing — that He wants to do, includ­ing, but not lim­ited to, walk­ing on water.  Fur­ther­more, He can have oth­ers join Him there.  How­ever, I con­sid­ered this mir­a­cle a lit­tle closer today, and found that there could be a lot […]

This should be fun.  Keep your eyes peeled for an upcom­ing arti­cle or arti­cle series on being pas­sion­ate titled, “Be an Author­ity on Pas­sion.”  I’ll look for­ward to read­ing your comments!
