Have you ever wished to have a conversation with God? Have you ever been distracted while you talk with God?
When I pray, and distractions appear,
And I request You to walk with me,
We'll make all those distractions
A part of our conversation.
And God says,
"Look for Me... Expect Me...
I set My vision of Hope before you
To anchor your soul."
Sometimes we babble at God, and sometimes He seems to answer us. Usually the answer we think we hear is...

I have always loved music, through singing or listening to it. I played the organ and piano in church services. Because I played these instruments, I memorized many hymns. I also gave piano lessons. One of the hymns was "Lift Me up above the Shadows," a beautiful hymn by Herbert Buffman. Although I did not play it often, one day the song was impressed on my mind. Like a broken record, it played over-an- over. I would find myself singing it. This happened...

People ask "why should I?" or "how can this be?" That is why, from the start, Jesus used parables to relay his message. "Well, let me tell you a story."
