I like to read the Proverb of the day. There is always a word or a verse that gets my curiosity.

All last evening and this morning I was troubled with someone’s possible loss, when with all my heart I thought the news would be the opposite. I prayed, I interceded, I pleaded, I cried.

Let Me Hear Your Thunder!

January 20th, 2010 | Posted by Mary Puplava in Scriptures

Southern California has been buffeted by a series of storms this week. All last night and throughout the morning I’ve been hearing thunder. As I listened to the thunder, I thought about Ben Kingsley in the movie, “Moses,” when he stood with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai. I was intrigued by how Mr. … Read more
