  • It Is Time To Yield

    by Kathi Pelton Today I was remembering a vision that the Lord gave to me many years ago. The vision was of a father’s strong arm pulling a tiny child close to him. The arm of this farher was so big that it shielded every vulnerable part of this small child.  He was fully shielding…
