Work and play Quote by Mike Howerton

““How would our lives change if we knew what to listen for? What effect would it have if we learned how to listen for his voice in the midst of our dailiness, our everyday work and play? According to the witness of Scripture, God does have a call on our lives, a purpose, a plan, a message, and he does care about our moment-by-moment existence. This is an incredibly exciting prospect! And potentially a frightening one as well.””
