I Can't Get No Satisfaction
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley

(Elohim – The Strong One) In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over its surface.

The Love of the Truth (39 of TBD)
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington

Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Sivan 13'
