On the way to church, we decided to prepare our hearts for worship. On 104.7–gospel station, the song I’m still standing was playing. A man gave his testimony as a part of the song and announced the situations that God brought him through over the years–depression, death of loved ones, hurricane Katrina, cancer……but for every…
