"Nothing that we do for God is small." I read these words from D.L. Moody this morning. It reminds me of the song that says, "Little is much when God is in it." I need to be reminded of this sometimes. OK. I need to be reminded quite often. I turned 45 a couple months...

Seven or eight years ago, I went through the greatest trial of my life so far. My life has not always been easy, but looking back at most of the difficult times, I can see how God used them in some way in spite of how hard it was to go through them. This last trial, I...
