I know that name from somewhere. Is it Wesley United Methodist Church? I'm not joking. I was brought up a Lutheran. I get the point. Not arguing that. Just need some historical help here.
Hey Robert,
Have included a link "for those who wish to know more..." at the end of the story.
This was a reading that Joyce Meyer offer in one of her sermons past, and I liked it so well that I wrote down EVER word ... but then found it available online too ... thus my reference to "Source".
