When you spend time with the LORD, it shows!

Moses was, again, on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights.  He was alone with the LORD.   Whenever you spend time with the LORD, it will show in your attitude, in your approach to life and people.   So it was in the life of Moses, although he didn’t know it, at first.  And probably […]
