A Turning Tide and the National Day of Prayer

The “tide is turning” in America.

Helping to propel it forward will be the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1.

Be encouraged. The tide is turning.

You can join in by participating in the National Day of Prayer this Thursday.

When we stop learning, we stop living. When we cease to grow, we really begin to die.

Here’s what I learned recently from watching the Paris Olympics.
