I'm sorry about the electric fence. ;) Did the angel stir up the waters? In my circle of pentie friends, there are many 'supernatural' things that I wonder about. Thanks for grounding me today. Nothing changed for that guy till Jesus showed up and that's what I have to keep reminding myself of.

Was it a superstition, or was there a natural cause to why the water moved? It's like when we're hurting, we grab onto anything that feels like it could offer hope, even if it really doesn't offer any. our only real and lasting hope is to hold onto Jesus. <br />I enjoyed what you had to say. god bless.Rishiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434067243852108926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-29055081775906573632022-06-09T20:21:21.995-07:002022-06-09T20:21:21.995-07:00"Did the angels stir the waters?"
