Now, the place where I kept Doc had other horses and they tended to stick together. "Babe," that gorgeous sorrel paint who was...

Habakkuk 2:4 spells out that we are to live until that day "by faith," not by sight. Habakkuk 3:3-15 reveals the content of the vision. Habakkuk is deeply changed; his response in 3:16-19 clearly illustrates what it means to live by faith in God's promises. After a moment's recuperation from the cosmic events that he has...

She changed the subject then, talking about her company, which was mostly family,...
