My family and I have traveled a lot in May. Some of it has been relaxing, some of it has been intense. On the first trip, we had some huge things we had to fix on our big van. We had the protection of our Triune God. I am amazed at how far we made it on our trip, and nothing bad happened to us. The rotors were really bad. The next trip we took was within our home state. I ask my bible study ladies to keeps us in their prayers. Our leader listens to the Holy Spirit and then shared what the Holy…

And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the King of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came onto the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with their swords.
