Our first instinct when we find ourselves wedged between a rock and a hard place is to seek out some spiritual superstars to pray for us. Possibly your pastor, or an elder, or a deacon would be your first choice. Your grandmother may top the list. Either way it would be someone who you believe to be in constant contact with the Almighty.

Unless you are in school, the summer is not considered to be most people’s favorite time of year. We usually choose the spring or fall because of the comfortable temperatures and the changes that can be easily seen in the environment around us. In the spring the trees bloom, the plants grow, and the wildlife is preparing for new life.
