We lived in Houston during a few of my younger years. Houston terrain is flat, flatter, and flattest. The only “hills” are overpasses on the interstate. One street near our house had a fun feature – a rolling bump. Not a speed bump, just a small rise and dip. When our car drove over the exciting anomaly (yes, we were easily entertained) it produced a momentary sinking feeling that resulted in smiles and giggles. The

God who created the Heavens and earth, who calms the seas, drives out demons, takes a handful of bread and fish and feeds thousands, that same God will do exceedingly more than you can ever ask or imagine.

Am I ignitable? God deliver me from the dread of asbestos of ‘other things.’ Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be a flame. But flame is transient, often short-lived. Canst thou
