I may only reach those who God leads me to not those I want to reach.  Obedience to God guarantees I will accomplish His will, not necessarily my own!  -Clint

Man, I can say my faith has certainly been stretched in so many ways over the past year and a half.  Thank God for the many times in my and Jodiann's past He stretched us beyond the level of faith we had at those times. Each preparing us for the next acting as stepping stones.  A body builder isn't born with the bulging muscles of which even under clothing can be seen. It takes hard work, pouring out of sweet sand tears , years of discipline and sacrifice to get to that level of strength.

Christ knew that in order to fulfill His responsibility He must maintain His relationship with His Father in order to sustain His purpose here on Earth; RESCUE, RESUSCITATE, RESTORE a lost, thirsty, hungry, injured, dying population suffocating being slaughtered because of the selfish will of man. Christ had to gain access to those lost, in  the storm. Access that only provided one way in and one way out.
