There are tragedies looming that we can’t even guess at right now. There are also blessings right around the corner. There are, of course, many other things we don’t know about 2016. We may not know what but we can know who to go to and where to go in His will.

The inward look, the outward look, The upward look, from the old, old Book. Get the new look, from the old Book. Get the new look from God’s Word.”
