Sun Stand Still Prayer
I just finished reading the book Sun Stand Still by Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC.

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
