It's Time to Shine (9 of 9)
Series: The Unknown God, Discovering the Person and the Power of the Holy Spirit
Jeff Schreve
Acts 1:4-8
I learned early on in my marriage, really in my dating, that the girl that had captured my heart, she loved lighthouses. It was just kind of her little thing was lighthouses. You know some people, they decorate their kitchen. I found this out. You know, as a guy, you're getting ready to get married, you find out how women think.
