Now I'd like to be able to say that I received my inspiration from my Bible study and devotions or from an impression I had received from a message that I had heard somewhere; but really, my inspiration for this morning's message comes from this quote given by Norma Zimmer. There is a lot of spiritual truth in what she said.
And, oh, that we could learn these truths--tha ...
