I was recently inspired to compose and post the vision God has given April and me. As we ministered the last few years as ordained elders in the United Methodist Church, specifically at a church in Albertville, AL, the Lord drew us close to himself in ways, expressions and encounters we never thought possible as…

My Salvation Is Close At Hand
My wife April is a dreamer. She has experienced fresh and clear expressions from the Lord for her and our lives together through dreams. I’ve asked the Lord to speak to me, and I, on occasion, have dreams that speak to me. More often, the Lord has given me scripture passages to find and study….
