God knows my name and He knows yours, too!
by Vanessa Richardson
She was suddenly hit hard. The unexpected impact sent her sprawling to her knees. She could hear the incessant sound of the rain, pelting against her large bedroom window. It was all a strange phenomenon, to her. Dark billowy clouds had gathered, hovering and intimidating. It was an remarkable sight. The howling winds were a frightening thing to hear.

One of the most practical areas of the bible is the book of Proverbs. Most of Proverbs was recorded by King Solomon, known to be the wisest man of all time (1 King 3:12).

The mud clung to my Belleville boot like a scared child to daddy’s leg. I was on a mission to an informant’s house. Sweat trickled to the edge of my nose then fell into the mire. A moment of clarity pushed away the fog and I realized we took the wrong route. I was stuck.
It had only been a week since our last visit, so we knew that insurgents might be setting in an ambush for us. I decided that we would dismount about a kilometer away and make our move through the fields that had high reeds on either side, thus providing excellent concealment for our infiltration. It had rained hard the week previous, but I figured that by this time it would have dried up. I was wrong.
