Had my day off and took a train to Manhattan, venturing back into the sanctuary connected to where I attended High School.

God touched my life when I was a Sophomore in that secondary institution.  Still retaining the essence of a mixed up kid, He nevertheless called me into ministry.

So, the renovated sanctuary looked marvelous, and I’m sure great encounters with the Divine occur there on a regular basis.
