“Calamity, tragedy, catastrophe, wars, famine, and disease are sometimes how God troubles the waters to push our boats safely to shore. In these situations, there can be an opportunity for reconciliation with him. And, no matter how deep the suffering, the cost is nothing compared to the joy that will be experienced if we come to know Jesus through the ordeal.”
-Rev. Mark Creech
