I wonder if Elijah did that? Or did he have peace knowing God was in control?Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378594821836169485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-10236879141426846762015-05-22T23:08:45.802-05:002015-05-22T23:08:45.802-05:00I thought the same thing Tammy did.

Thankful that we can find true rest in Jesus.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.com
