I have a friend who is notorious for doing everything humanly possible EXCEPT drive when she's driving.

I like what the N.T. says about Abraham: He didn't consider his age or the fact Sarah was barren even in her prime. He didn't consider it, but trusted God to fulfill His promises.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.
