Thank you, G. David for booking my best guy as your Kiwanis speaker and inviting me too.

My favorite secret agent man did a great job sharing some of his adventures!

I always enjoy hearing him speak, am sometimes surprised at the things I’ve forgotten, 

and am very proud of how well and faithfully he served our country for several decades.

I loved experiencing all the wonder through Charlotte’s eyes!!

And God saw that it was good.”

Seeking and Finding God’s Glory 

O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Your glory is higher than the heavens.

You have taught children and infants 

to tell of your strength, 

silencing your enemies 

and all who oppose you. 

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers —

 the moon and the stars you set in place—

 what are mere mortals that you should think about them?

Yet you made them only a little lower than God 

and crowned them with glory and honor.

You gave them charge of everything you made, 

putting all things under their authority—

the flocks and the herds 

and all the wild animals, 

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, 

and everything that swims the ocean currents. 

O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Psalm 8

“If you are filled with LIGHT, 

with no dark corners, 

then your whole life will be radiant, 

as though a floodlight were filling you with LIGHT.” 

Luke 11:36
