A Lost and Found Story (in prep for Song 1:8)
There once was a man who lived in a cabin nestled deep in the woods. He had a precious daughter who was fearless, adventurous, and loved being out in nature. One day when she was little, she had the frightening experience of getting lost in the woods for the first time. Panic set in. …

His Advances (Song 1:4)
“Draw me… Hurry!” It can be a very delicate dance to live in intimate relationship, whether we are talking physically or spiritually. There are “signals” that we receive – and it really does become important to be ready, particularly when you want to be impregnated with His life …
