Just as air supremacy guaranteed Allied success and victory, I saw that God’s supremacy guarantees that we can demonstrate complete health and harmony in our daily lives, even when we're having facing a scary physical pain.

My daughter and I were outside when we heard disturbingly loud cracking sounds. About 15 feet in front of us, a 50-foot-tall oak tree had just broken away at its stump and was falling directly toward us.

Prayerful inspiration for peace, love for our neighbor, and joy.
