This year think ‘possible’
‘Then he had another dream.’ Genesis 37:9 NIV It is Possible this year-Joseph had two dreams, and the second was bigger than the first. His first dream was a field of sheaves; the second dream was a sky full of stars. So the word for today is – dream one size bigger! Henry Curtis said: […]
