I've always been a romantic. One of my earliest memories is of sitting atop a small hill in our backyard on my mighty three-wheeled steed (my tricycle) and feeling the wind in my face. At my core, I wanted to be a knight in shining armor. A bold, daring adventurer who stood for what was …

Bible Study Notes on Genesis 41 – 20161220
