He is so wonderful and has been merciful to me. He saved me when I wasn't even looking for Him. He grabbed me and made me His own :)
The Lord is gracious and...
Mourning and reconciliation seem to be some of the key themes....
Joel 2:1-2, 12-17

2:2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will...
