Rise Above It All

Earlier this week, I talked with an old high school classmate over the phone, whom I hadn’t heard from in several years. As we talked, we began to reflect over the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord. I shared with my friend how God had shown me favor on my first job of 14 years,…
