In troubled times, have you ever wondered where God is? Often, it seems, He/She is nowhere to be seen. We feel lost and lonely.
Sound familiar?
I love these words of Sir Anthony Hopkins:
“The only reason we don’t see God is because we’re always looking for him.” (Usually in the wrong places.)

In all our years of working with Johnny (and now Berna also), one of the saddest complaints we’ve heard is “How can there be a God who created this world of woe and pain?”… Read more
