I know I sure did. I was laying in bed this morning, mulling over a sticky situation in my life. When I had the image of my loving, Heavenly Father gently lifting my chin to put my eyes on His face.

Casting
Back in the early 2000's, our family would go out into the back country and go fly fishing. I took a class on how to cast my line. Just around the corner from my office building is the courthouse.

Once again…
Once again, it happened to me. And I love when it does. I read a verse that everyone knows, and we kinda blow over it when we read it, because it is so familiar. But this week, BAM!
