Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.
I see and feel the hand of god in my life. He is not some Archiac icon. He is our Creator. He is our Father. We are ALL son and daughters of god. Wether you believe in him or not. God exist in Everywhere and in Everything. But for him to manifest himself in this realm. WE must recongize him. He is ever present. But for him to do his work we must answer him.
Love
The Big Kahuna
I can only hope we find God again before it is too late!!
