A sigh of relief after 49 Cent Squeeze



Near the end of 4.5 hours under the Mountain


Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power, who can understand?  Job 26:14

It is He who made the earth by His power, who established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding stretched out the heavens.  Jeremiah 10:12

Special thanks to the Bookout Bed and Breakfast in B'ham.  Always a joy to visit.
