Call me crazy. You may already think that I am.  A few weeks ago God laid something on my heart. Pray for Noah. I know several Noah’s. I have a nephew Noah, a friend’s child is Noah, there is a baby named Noah at church. I can’t tell you why I am praying for Noah,…

“Almost there,” inwardly I cheer myself on as I near the end of my run. “This is the end, I can do it.” Now don’t go thinking I run a marathon or anything. I have only recently began running again and towards the end of two miles I have to convince myself that I can…
