Open Your Heart!!!!!!!

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. - Ezekiel 36:26


Madonna sang this song years ago, as you read the lyrics this sums up the hearts of many people today. Open your heart to the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ for your redemption. To Life and Life more abundant - John 10:10


You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open


You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open


if I could melt your heart
we'd never be apart
give yourself to me
you hold the key

Shalom from the Galilee,
Todd

How Touched by Grace got started.

Rose and I have lived in Nashville, TN for the past 16 years. God moved us to Nashville in December of 1994 and we knew just one family. It was made clear to us that we needed to move here based on my wife’s career choice to work in a large church in a Children Ministry capacity. Rose has a Christian Education degree, which allows her to work as a Women’s pastor, childrens director, etc.

We started our Journey at the People’s Church in Franklin, Tn. Rose was hired and later in May of 1998 I was licensed to the Gospel ministry by Pastor Rick White. From there Rose and I have worked with the community of faith in the Brentwood area, helping to strengthen, challenge, and encourage either through paid staff or laity.

In 2001, I was questioning the MORE about God’s plan and felt like something was missing. I went to my back yard got in the hammock and told God .... That’s it I’m done. There must be more to this Christian life than what I am experiencing. God spoke to me one word. “ISRAEL”


This would begin the journey for Rose and I to come into the understanding of Israel. Over the years since that day in 2001 we have been learning how to operate as Jesus taught us with a heart to be involved with Israel. Rose took several years to come on board and in February/March of 2005 God spoke to Rose on a retreat that said, “Your need will be supplied in a SUN SCORCHED LAND.” Isaiah 58:11

Rose came home from the retreat and said, “The Lord told me Israel” So now we were in unity about Israel. At the time I was working as an office manager in Brentwood, TN and had shared my love and desire to someday be helping Israel.

In April of 2005 I received an email asking me to consider a position with a news wire company with an opening in Jerusalem, Israel. I talked to my boss and left for two weeks for Washington DC right away to learn about the career opportunity.

At the end of two weeks not only had a I received my prayer language, but was hired and on track to work in Jerusalem, Israel.

I was there for 5 weeks in May of 2005 and came home and our family has been traveling to Israel every year since for 3 to 6 months at a time. We have been living in Northern Israel working with the people.

After two years with the News Wire Service the company closed their Israeli and Russian operations. Rose and I were already transitioning into a new assignment. A couple in Northern Israel saw the call of God on our lives. They have operated a ministry in Israel for the past 10 years. We all agreed that when we came home from Israel in the spring of 2007 we would be ordained as full-time Levitical Ministers of the Gospel. So on 7-7-07 after a 40 day fast. 40 people joined in affirmation about the call of God on our lives to share the story of Israel around the world.

Since that day TBG was born in the natural and we have been serving God throughout the world including, Ukraine, India, Germany, California, Kansas, Tennessee, Ohio, Israel, Turkey, etc. "Reaching the world ONE PERSON at a TIME"

From Israel first and then to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Shalom from Israel,

Rededication & Consecration!

Tonight we celebrate the first night of Hannukah. From the Hebrew word for "dedication" or "consecration", Hanukkah marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Following the victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, there was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, which was the length of time it took to press, prepare and consecrate fresh olive oil.

As we reflect on our own lives may we seek the Holy Spirit's Power and work in our lives of consecrating ourselves to HIM through the renewing of our mind, will, and emotions.

Shalom from northern Israel,

Todd

Your WHOLE life for GOD!!!

Something has happened... There has been a shift in values. Remember the vow you took... "I declare that my whole life, whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service. Your whole life, that was a commitment you made to God and to your people." - The Queen

We need a world full of people that will dedicate their WHOLE life to God whether it be long or short.

As we enter this Thanksgiving week, I pray we reflect on those who have gone before that have dedicated their whole life to GOD. What will it take for us in 2010 and forward, to do the same? This week be Thankful for the sacrifice that has been paid to bring us all into God's presence for eternity.

Do YOU believe?

We must believe in order to grow. Our ability to confidently believe gives credibility to our living epistle read of all men. How much of the WORD that is IN YOU do you believe? Remember the WORD said, "it was living and sharper than any double edged sword." Is it LIVING in you? The mountain can be taken if you BELIEVE the WORD can take that mountain.

Protect them from the evil one!!!!

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you will keep and protect them from the evil one. - John 17:15

Jesus in his prayer to the Father spoke of the need to make sure we were protected from the evil one. Jesus made it clear that we were to stay in this world for a determined amount of time for purposes relationally to our FATHER.

Have you discovered your unique purpose in the Father going and making disciple of all nations?

You are being protected from the evil one, YOU (with the Spirit of G-D in you) are a threat to the evil one?

Today, seek HIM so that you may find the purpose you were created for...

I WILL COME AGAIN!!!

He said, "I WILL COME AGAIN" - John 14:3 The final act is closer at hand than ever before. The root is in place. We are turning back to the Father and we are his children. Ask yourself this question today? Who is my Father? What is my heritage, inheritance, and origin? You MUST go past Luther and Constantine to find your father and the covenant. Only then will you experience true freedom and life in the Spirit. Come and be married to the Bridegroom who will return. Don't continue to be a part of the greatest generation of divorce since 3AD when we left our first love. Those who seek HIM will find HIM. By faith through grace you have been saved. To the Jew first and also to the Greek.

L'shana Tova

And the Lord spoke unto MOSES, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. - Leviticus 23:23-24

Dear friends... As directed by the Lord we will enter the new year tonight. From the staff of Touched by Grace we pray a very blessed and Happy New Year.

Our prayer is that you have time to reflect on all that has happen this past year and how we can work together in the coming year. We pray for an ongoing manifestation of HIS presence in all of our lives. May that overwhelmingly presence take hold of you and help you begin walking out your created purpose on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.

God Works His Master Plan Through Humanity

God's plan to put His son into humanity may seem like insanity, but it was God's master plan to infuse himself into time, space, and REALITY where we cold comprehend Him; His character and passion for us; His grace... Receive the free gift of God's one and only Son. The second ADAM has already come. Embrace life, life more abundant in the SON!

"He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32

The Suddenly That Surprises Us

In the suddenly of the plan of God manifesting in your life, the unexpected events you encounter, don't be afraid. Embrace Abba's plan and just flow where He directs you. It may at first feel strange and out of order. But on the contrary, we know that God has it all in order and in perfect alignment with HIS master plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11-13) What we need to do is thank Him for what He is doing, has done, and will continue to do. PRAISE Him for His goodness through the years, in the present and in the time to come.   This will ensure our attitude is in direct flow with His plan for welfare and goodness and blessing in our lives.

"The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9

Blessing for A New Day

It's time to start a New Day. I am reminded that HIS GRACE is enough as I face a schedule with no blank lines; the cares and concerns of friends, family and new acquaintances that God has prepared for me to encounter on my journey with Him today. Let's all remember that God is right there with you ready to dialogue about the amazing day HE has planned, together, with you. Embrace this time together. Don't miss the intimacy that is there for you, just for you, today!

Awakening "Out of the Box Faith"

Come on everyone take your faith out of the box and get where the publicans and "sinners" are.  They will not come to thoughts of faith by themselves.  They want to be relationally engaged with you, so that YOU can be used to breathe life unto them from HIM.

Remember His ways are higher than our man made ideas of faith. Your best form of sharing life with someone is to go and break bread with them, pray for them, and be the authentic power source of HIS presence already activated in YOUR life.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8

There is an urgency on the planet today as there has never been since the formation of the earth itself!

Happy Third Anniversary Touched By Grace

Touched by Grace would like to say thank you to all who are supporting the call of God on our lives with your time, treasure, and talents. God is truly using all of us as we work together to reach the world one person at a time. Today, July 7th, we celebrate three years of inspiring individuals to unleash their true purpose and potential.

Following the example of Jesus Christ we have been guiding individuals into a life lived elegantly and satiated with passion and fortitude so they in turn become powerful catalysts for radical change all around them.

Blessings and thank you again for making another year so productively and fruitfully great with TBG!

Becoming "Agents of His Glory"!

How often do we miss, by lack of consciously choosing to be aware of, the Almighty's presence in our lives from day to day? The availability is always there. Will we choose to become aware of the need for His presence based on the cross we bear or simply to enjoy our relationship with the Creator of the Universe? In order to live in Resurrected Glory we must choose on earth as it is in heaven to be agents of HIS Glory.

The light that we carry has as one of its purposes the illumination of the way for people to come to deeper understanding, of the weight of HIS Glory. When we are wrapped in His Glory, worship, praise, thankfulness, and humility become natural products of His presence found therein. Liberty, Grace, & Freedom exist in this Glory and are spread like a blanket to all those who come under the influence of His presence.

Power and Authority reside in the shalom (peace) that is the Glory for in that place of unity with His heart and purpose, true security is found and confidence is understood. You become settled in your spirit, you become more aware and comfortable with who you were created to be, the longer you wait upon the Lord in the Glory of His presence.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the GLORY....
... And I will dwell in the house of the LORD FOREVER!

The Gentile Diamonds and the Root Gemstones

The Gemstone - The Diamond - The Light of the Word - The Ephod - The Royal Setting - His Heart

Have you ever thought about diamonds. They all are unique no two exactly alike. They are valued by their clarity, cut, & color. A diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion, that is ability to disperse light of different colors, which results in its characteristic luster. In our lives we are a diamond that is specific and precisely cut with certain clarity & color we all obtain when we come to faith. As the Holy Spirit takes over in our lives the color gets clearer and clearer as long as we surrender and walk in faith.

The ephod was a garment that held the 12 stones of the tribes of Israel. Worn as part of the High Priests Garment. All beautiful colors. The Jews represent the rainbow of color. (Noah was given this promise after the flood) The Gentiles remind me of diamonds. These diamonds fit perfectly around the gemstones of the tribes of Israel in the Ephod. There is plenty of room in the ephod for the elect. It is our responsibility to allow the Holy Spirit to make us of the best color... without spec or blemish.

I can picture when our lord returns the Great High Priest, He will be wearing the ephod on the white horse with all of his treasures close to HIS heart and protecting the heart of who and what we are. He told us we needed to circumcise our hearts. We have HIS heart when we get into agreement with His plan for Israel both in the past, today, and the second coming that is close at hand.

The refraction potential we have for God goes beyond that which we could ever ask hope or imagine. We choose how much of His light we will refract for Him. As we are refracting the Light (I am the Light of the world. Jesus said) we bounce off and blend with the colored gems becoming the one new man and light to the world with HIM IN US... So let's let our light shine before men. Remember we have the light in us. The inner light of the Lord Jesus in the work of the Holy Spirit as Jesus did after He was baptized in the Jordan river.

Today is your day to Shine for Him. Allow His love to refract through the precision cut you are for Him. NO two diamonds are cut exactly the same, neither are we in the body of Christ cut exactly the same way. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

We are jointly and fitly put together. A diamond has a beautiful setting that it fits in.

Have you recognized the setting He has placed you in?

It is imperative today that you take a look at where you are placed in the Ephod and the Royal setting you were called too. Which one of the twelve tribe gemstones have you been placed around to help complete the engagement story and betrothal before the wedding that is about to take place according to Romans 11.

Our Love is what will make ISRAEL envious.

How in Love with Him are we?

How much of His love makes ISRAEL or those around you envious?

Have you been overshadowed by the most High God in a way that like Mary we have said may it be done according to your will?

I am encouraging each of us to examine our diamond and see what can be done to refine the clarity, allowing more light to shine through.

Th Unplugged Lamp

I believe based on the Word of God that most, if not all, of the denominations and non-denominations that exist in the Church agree salvation can only be achieved by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross.

What troubles my spirit is that we have allowed the enemy to deceive blood bought believers of the role and function of the Holy Spirit in the earth and believers life. The enemy has allowed us to acknowledge the reality of the third person of the trinity and then stops there.

This creates a problem for the believer who desires to be used to lead people into true intimacy with God. The example looks like this: Imagine a lamp that is sitting next to a chair in a dark room and not plugged into the wall outlet. Now imagine an individual sitting in a chair next to the lamp trying to read the Word of God. The whole time the church being the lamp believes that the individual will be able to read the Word somehow in this dark room, find the Truth, and will be set free. The reality is if you would understand that you are 6 inches from being plugged into the wall outlet that could produce the light to help the individual with ease read and understand the truth that sets them free. This then empowers both the church and the individual to achieve life and life more abundant.

Jesus said, I am the LIGHT of the World. Jesus with the Holy Spirit in Him was and is a type and shadow for us today to conform to His image. (The image of God himself)

The Spirit empowered within us through Jesus has given us the authority already based on the blood and ressurection to be the light to the world.

Why not get plugged into the electrical outlet today and allow the Holy Spirit to Illuminate the way, truth, and life to all the individuals that sit in the chairs next to you throughout the journey of your life.

Empowered by the Spirit,

Todd

The Flame the burns...

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire - Hebrews 12:28-29

Thinking of the verse above and asking the Spirit to impress on my heart thoughts that will encourage us in our relationship with Him. The need for us to be thankful and continually worshiping God goes beyond the way we approach these to words in our life application. We leave worship and thankfulness only for Sunday and go about living our lives without passionately pursuing Him.

When God tells us that HE is a consuming fire what does that mean to us? A consuming fire burns up everything it its touches. However, at a deeper look the Holy Spirit is fire as we are getting ready to celebrate the feast of PENTECOST this week after 2000 years. I truly am grateful that we were empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT and that Jesus told us to wait in Jerusalem till we receive the Gift the Father promised.

Amazing to me so many people today refuse to allow the Holy Spirit usage in our lives; the good gift that God gave us to make a difference in the World as a Priest and King for His Kingdom. Why we choose to believe we can do it our own way and that our Heavenly Father does not know what is best for us, leaves me to an understanding that it must be we choose not to desire to be all that we can be for Him as an ambassador in the Kingdom.

Some of the body of Christ will never reach their full potential in Christ through life in the Spirit because we don't not want to do the work it takes. I know this sounds painful, but this is the truth of the matter. If it were not so we would see a much great impact for God's Kingdom as we did in the early church.

So my thought is why not let God kindle the fire in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that all who come near you will be consumed by the fire and love of HIS presence in your life.

Last night I was listening to a song titled Love, Where is your Fire by Brooke Fraser. Some of the Lyrics in the song are below and have great truth in them.

Do you find yourself in these lyrics?

I am sitting here smoking sending signals, but there is no sign of a flame.
There are many Imposters that have been passing by.
Some tell us to be moderate and Lukewarm, but that will never do.

So I want to blaze for you. An Inferno that burns to the bone.

I am holding my heart out to you. Standing and handing out torches.

Expect the Manifest Presence...

Expect the Manifest Presence of the Lord today in your life. Come to Him as a little Child with Great Expectation. No child questions the goodness of their Abba. They leap into His arms with Great Anticipation of the goodness that is coming and that is already there. Our Great Provision (Forward Vision) is one in your Spirit today, if you have received him. Now listen to the Spirit and ignore the whispers or shouts of the flesh. They speak death, but HE speaks LIFE and LIFE more abundant.

Explosion of His Manifest Presence.

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. - Romans 8:19-25

It is clear that we need to be keenly aware of the manifest presence of God within us and around us. There is an explosion that is getting ready to happen that will take the world by surprise. The manifest presence of His Royal Ambassadors. The manifestation of the Sons & Daughters of the Living God. Some of you today are not sure of what is happening around you other than there are many changes taking place. You can be comforted by the fact that Our Lord and King is changing us into His image. The DEEP is Calling out to DEEP. The Earth is Groaning for Our Great God to come and return.

Now is the time to come to HIM.

Now is the time to Connect with HIM.

NOW is the time to JOIN your name with HIS.

Remember HE is calling out your name name.

The blood of the Lamb needs to be applied to the doorpost of your heart.

He stands and knocks at the door of your heart.

The covenant and promises of the Lord between the people who are known by Him, can NOT be changed, stopped, reversed, removed, or separate us in any way.

Let the Holy Spirit rise up within you and boldly walk you day out for Him and IN HIM.

Competent Ministers of the Spirit!!!!

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? - 2 Corinthians 3:1-8

Reading these verses, tears begin to well up in my eyes. We have been so deceived for so many years that our ways in the church today will lead to the Life that only He can give. However, God said that my ways are higher than your ways. 2 Corinthians chapter 3 clearly spells out that we are living epistles to be read of all men.

We must go through the process of becoming like HIM and operating as He did. We must bring ourselves in subjection to a renewed mind washed by the Word to exemplify this type of lifestyle that 2 Corinthians speaks of in chapter 3. We were commanded to, "GO and make disciples of all NATIONS." I can tell you from personal experience that this Ministry of the Spirit is more glorious. I have tasted of it. Now my responsibility is to live it everyday.

It is time for us to leave the traditions of MAN and return to the life that only Christ can give.

The question stands before each of us today, will you surrender under the freedom of His will for your Life?

Will you allow the Most High God to take you and compel (constrain) you by His great Love for purposes that you can not even imagine right now?

The world around you needs to read your living testimony. God is counting on us to get the Gospel to a lost and dying world....

Come, be set apart for unto God and his service in your life.

His return is eminent and we don't want to be left with nothing to show for the eternal Kingdom of our Great God and King.

Fully embraced by His Great Love,

Todd

Connecting with God!!!!

Have You Recognized Your Opportunity!

When Yeshua had come closer and could see the city, he wept over it, saying "If you only knew today what is needed for shalom! But for now it is hidden from your sight. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you, encircle you, hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within your walls, leaving not one stone standing on another - and all because you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!" - Luke 19:41-44

In the quiet of the night last evening , as I lay on my bed meditating, I began to weep. I was moved in such a way after doing some extensive reading this past week on the body of Messiah past and present. My heart was troubled with how far we have strayed from the original intent. I was immediately taken in my mind to the scriptures where Yeshua was weeping over Jerusalem. While crying, I believe God allowed me an opportunity to feel a portion of His heart as it relates to the church today. What struck me the most after reading the Word this morning was this... "you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!"

I challenge all of us today who claim the risen Lord as Messiah to come back to His heart. Don't miss the opportunity God has offered you. Ask yourself these questions.

Do I know what my Faith is rooted in?

Do I know who I am grafted into?

What is the opportunity God has offered me?

Have I recognized the Masters voice and obeyed?

Is my Lord and Savior weeping over me today?

Let's Walk through the Fire!

But now this is what Adonai says, he who created you, Ya'akov, he who formed you, Israel: "Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I am calling you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the water I will be with you; when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you will not be scorched - the flame will not burn you. For I am Adonai, your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior - Isaiah 43:1-3

Reflecting on these verses, we should acknowledge the confidence, humility, and boldness that are needed to reflect the kingdom of God to every created person. God has created all of us for purpose. Those of us who have come into the knowledge of his HOLY presence have been called by NAME to reach the world one person at a time.

God promised that we would not be scorched or burned when we walk through the fire. He never promised we wouldn't go through the Fire. We need to understand as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that HE is the GREAT I AM.

Find a place this weekend to connect with Adonai, He is waiting there for you all the time.

Ask yourselves these questions today:

Am I willing to walk through the Fire?

Do I need to change my perspective of who the Great I AM is?

Do you know you belong to God?

Can you hear Adonai calling your name?

It is time to CRY OUT!

Adonai is king, robed in majesty; Adonai is robed, girded with strength; the world is well established; it cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; you have existed forever. Adonai, the deep is raising up the deep is raising up its voice the deep is raising its crashing wave. More than the sound of rushing water or the mighty breakers of the sea, Adonai on high is mighty. Your instructions are very sure; holiness befits your house Adonai for all time to come. I cry aloud to God, aloud to God; and he hears me. On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai; my hands are lifted up; my tears flow all night without ceasing; my heart refuses comfort.

- Psalm 77:1 - 2 /Psalm 93

God eagerly desires to bless us and love on us in more ways than we could ever ask, hope, or imagine. Today, choose to remove the blocks that keep you from passionately crying out to Him for the restoration of mankind to Himself.

As we learn to cry out in adoration, repentance, and petition we learn a valuable lesson in humility and begin to discover the first step in obedience to the Fathers voice.

Do we cry out to God in 2010?

When was the last time the tears flowed uncontrollably from crying out?

It is time to identify the Hellenistic mindsets that have stolen our Joy

of being surrendered fully to God and stifled us from Crying out to our King.

He waits with arms open wide to Lavish His love upon each of us, but we must

cry out only to Him, no substitute will satisfy.

It is no longer about who is right, the issue is finding the TRUTH.

Are you a seeker of Truth and a Worshipper of the Creator?

As you Cry Out, God will pour out the truth into your Spirit.

All traditions of mankind will fade away, but the truth will remain.

Your throne was established long ago; you have existed forever.

Remember, the LIVING WORD said, "I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE"

The Consuming Fire!

Our God is a consuming Fire! - Hebrews 12:29, Exodus 3:1-6

Moses at mount Horev met God at the burning bush. Although the bush was flaming with fire, the bush did not burn up. Moses made a decision to go see this sight. Notice Moses took action. Only when Moses moved did Adonai call from the middle of the bush and speak his name.

Just as Moses took action, we are required to take action. Since Pentecost we have been filled with His spirit. The FIRE is already in you. He placed it in you when you received Him. God has need of us to take action, based on the prompting of the Holy Spirit daily in your life.

Every act of obedience fans the flame of His presence to consume you and share life more abundant with those around you.

Our lives need to be redefined by the voice from the fire.

Have you heard Him (I AM) call your name from the fire?

What has Adonai asked you to do for His Kingdom?

He told Moses to tell Pharaoh "Let MY people go"

By faith, step closer to the burning bush in your life that will not be consumed.

You will become lost in HIS presence and warmed by His all consuming fire.

SO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE ALL MEN...

Consumed by His fire from the cottage on the hill,

Todd
