Welcome to my blog! My hope is that my random thoughts and ramblings may encourage you and prompt some reflections in your own life.

It’s almost an understatement to acknowledge that there have been times when, despite the fervent prayers of many very devoted and faithful followers, the answers did not come as people had hoped and for which they had believed. What do we make of this?
