Would you jump with me?
I remember standing at the edge of a cliff. Looking out at the big wide blue ocean. Looking down and seeing a beautiful scary blue unknown. My heart pounding in my chest like the sound of an epic climactic drum solo. Should I jump? Should i let go of...

Dear Friends and Family, In 2 Corinthians 4: 8-11 Paul writes: "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also might be manifested in our body.
