“The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion,” (New International Version, Proverbs 28:1). Picture with me the scared little man hiding in the shadows.  He crouches down, eyes wide, seeing every movement around him.  He fears the results (real and imagined) of his bad choices seeking their payment.  [...]

A couple of years before Seth was born, God created such a hunger for Him in me that was quite miraculous.  It came out of no where and the questions that filled my mind about Him drove me to seek Him like a mad woman.  I was reading everything I could and asking people questions [...]
