Titanic -The ship that could never sink. Dewey defeats Truman. Coach Frost turns Husker Football around immediately (ouch). All of the above events should have happened - they were “done deals” if you will. When I was younger, I was waiting for a certain job to open up. I had been waiting patiently for about [...]

I mean, let’s just take a look at a few things God did for them: ● God sent the 10 plagues to Egypt to eventually urge Pharoah [...]
