“Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest- I would flee away and stay in the desert; Selah, I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.” (Psalm 55:6-8 NIV) Refined We all experience thoughts like this. As a matter of fact, I believe as I ended my time as PTO President a few years back, I found my wings and flew to my desert. People’s actions can be crazy! Do I get an Amen? I can chop this particular experience as part of refined training. […]
