The Wilderness of Sin — Part 1

I’m still going through Exodus in my Quiet time these days—it’s a long book. Yesterday I came across what I thought was a very strange name for an “area.” The place the Israelites were encamped was referred to as, “The Wilderness of Sin.”   Here’s the passage I’m referring to:     On the fifteenth […]

Thanks for all your support!

Unfortunately, we didn’t win the 91.9 contest. It was close—51% to 49%. We started slow (about 20 percentage points down) and were closing fast, but, as we said, it was over at 20,000 votes. Oh well, it was fun and it means a lot to know how much our praise and worship team is loved […]
