welcome In this time... I'm never sure if everything changes or if nothing changes. We get confused as to what day, sometimes what month or season it is. But in all this, God is with us.

The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly. 1 Chronicles
