Last Sunday, my scripture reading for the day was in Numbers.  I came to Number 8:1-3 and those three verses stopped me - I read them over several times.  As many times as I’ve read those verses in the past, there was something that had never caught my attention before.  The NLT translation I was … Continue reading Facing Forward →
