God painted this one just for me!

I've had a very restful and peaceful 24 hrs at Cody's old place. It's actually a small cabin at the home of Ken & Sandy Brown, who are amazing friends! Thank you guys so much for providing a place for continued healing.

I've been reading thru the book of Acts throughout the day... and have been pretty much like a kid in a candy store. The apostle Paul was a man of great perseverance and determination. He knew his treasure was in heaven. No matter how many times he was stoned, thrown in prison, kicked out of town, or threatened.. he always got back up again. He wasn't afraid of the threats of the religious leaders. He went to the hard places. He didn't consider his life... "but my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus..." (Acts 20:24)

He saw many healed and even raised from the dead. Supernatural living probably seemed like 'second nature' to Paul.

I guess to most he would seem "radical", but what if Paul's life was actually just "normal"? I want my life to be that kind of normal.
