Daniel Fast day one: Entering the King’s service!
We’re going through a series on Bible heroes at the moment on Sundays. Yesterday’s focus was on Daniel. If we were going to look for longevity in consistent wisdom in the Bible, I’d probably want to make a case for Daniel. Lots of other guys started out well and finished badly.

Waves
8000 waves break on the shore every day. One every eight seconds.
It’s a great picture of God’s grace, love and blessing.

God speaks through Dreams: Walking with the King
