Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. Isaiah 26:20
Rachel-Ruth: And it can be something like we’ve never seen before. but I think we’ll be able to see God’s power in awesome ways while we’re waiting for Him.
Anne: I agree. His power and His provision while you’re shut-in, to not only oversee your children and to take care of your own relationship with the Lord and your relationship with others, but to look for opportunities to tell your neighbors as you walk or as you connect online . . . share the gospel . . . share with others the peace that you have in your heart.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…Psalm 23:4

…A little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6
The world was shocked and grieved to learn of the tragic and untimely death of Kobe Bryant on January 26. For sports fans, his death was on the level of Princess Diana’s death. Something that was unbelievable. Impossible. Like a nightmare we kept waiting to wake up from.
