Bright Hope For Tomorrow

Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right, let's talk. A daily program powered by the Truth Network. This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you why. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together.

Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. This is Peter Rosenberger, glad to be with you today. 866-34-TRUTH if you want to be a part of the program.

866-348-7884. I don't know if you knew this or not, but the Truth Network has really been expanding. There's been a lot of growth over the last year, and I don't know where I'm coming from. We've got people now just tuning in from so many different places, and I'd love to know where you're listening. You can do that at 866-34-TRUTH, 866-348-7884 if you'd like to weigh in on some things, particularly last night. I don't know if you saw President Trump's address to Congress. It was quite the show. I was at his first address some years ago during his first administration.

Our congressman at the time when we lived in Nashville, Marsha Blackburn, invited me to be her guest up there. And I've got to tell you, it is a show. It is a show.

There's a lot of theater there, and a lot of cosplay of people masquerading as concerned public servants. But it was quite interesting, and I thought there was a lot of disrespect at the one I was at that I saw last night. And I thought that was just, you know, the decorum has certainly gone out in our country. And I watched this last night, and it used to be something that's kind of, you know, very special to American history. You ever watch British Parliament on C-SPAN or anything? You ever watch that? Where they're just kind of yelling at each other, and harump, harump, you know, that kind of thing. And I think we've kind of devolved into that last night.

There was a couple takeaways. One of them was, I remember when that piece of legislation about the southern border, and how there was such an uproar about that, and they tried to pin that on Trump that he... legislation, and he had a quote last night, I'd be curious to see, to hear what you think about it. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border.

And then he said, but it turned out it was a new president. And I got to tell you that I saw that legislation maneuver a long ways off. I knew that was a farce the moment it came up, because it doesn't require new legislation to shut the border down. It may require new legislation to figure out a better policy and set laws and so forth, but we already have laws on the book. We just weren't enforcing them. And it turns out it was by design, wasn't it? Because all it had to do was just, I mean, it's done. I mean, the border crossings have dropped, what, 95 percent?

Why? We didn't pass any new legislation. What did we do different? So it just goes to show how much self-interest is there. You know, they're referred to as public servants.

Do you ever get the feeling that they're neither public nor very much interested? And I remember being up there, and by the way, it's really up in there in the balcony of the House of Representatives, it's really tight up there. The seats are small. I mean, I'm not enormous, but I feel bad for people like Stu Epperson, who's the president of this network. He's very tall. I mean, his knees would have been in his eyeballs in those chairs.

I mean, it is really tight up there. I was sitting, when I was there, I was sitting right in front to the right of Bill Nye the Science Guy. And that was an interesting, we had some, and it was, and you, I learned a trick about clapping because Gracie, my wife sang at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

She was invited to open the second night at Madison Square Gardens. And then they asked us to sit on the platform behind, and he gave us acceptance for the nomination. And everybody claps like every third word. I mean, it gets ridiculous. And I, you learn to just kind of fake clap. You know, you just kind of put your hands, but you stop about an inch out so that you're not smacking your hands because by the end of the night, your hands will be paralyzed.

You won't be able to use them. And it's, it's quite challenging. Is that, maybe that's the best word for it, but it's, there's a lot of, I don't know, chest beating and saber rattling and all kinds of things going on at the, you know, I appreciate for what it was. There's some things that I would probably speak to differently, and I've been writing about that.

I'll be maybe talking about that later on as the program goes on. But it's important for us to be engaged as believers, to look at these things and see what's going on with clarity and not get pulled one way or the other, get roped into things and not allow the gospel to be compromised, even by people that we support in office. You know, let's, let's be salted light. And I think the burden on us is more incumbent than ever to be salt and light now, because I see, I sense a little bit of dilution of the gospel. Are you sensing that?

I mean, it just seems that way to me that there's people willing to just because they happen to agree with whoever's in office. And I don't know that that's, that's a good place for us. Well, I know that's not a good place for us. And I would, I would like to think that we can be a little bit more aggressive on being salt and light on that. You've heard that theme repeatedly here on this program. And, and I would, I would just challenge all of us to pay attention, be engaged.

Let's not put it on autopilot and just assume that people are going to make the right decisions, the best decisions, the most God-fearing decisions and things that honor the things of God. We're going to have to hold them to account. We're going to have to make sure that we are standing firm in our principles and our beliefs. And it was a good speech last night. It was a good, it was a, and I appreciate the things that were done.

They were very touching moments. We've got work to do though in this nation. You saw that. If you watched it last night, you saw, you've got a lot of work to do.

The opposition, they look kind of weird. This is Peter Rosenberg and this is Truth Talk Live. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com Welcome back to Truth Talk Live. This is Peter Rosenberger and I am so glad to be with you today. 866-34-TRUTH if you want to be a part of the program, 866-348-7884. And we'd love to talk with you.

Phone lines are open and we'd love to hear from you. And we'll talk about whatever you want. I've been, I was just thinking about last night, of course, was the presidential address. It really technically wasn't the State of the Union, I don't think. They didn't call it as such. And I think this is the first time that a president is giving, given two first time addresses like this.

Because he didn't, it's not his second term consecutively. So there was a lot of little nuances to history. I'm kind of a nerd about that sort of thing. And I love all the history of our country and it's fascinating, but I do sense that we've got quite a bit of work to do. And there's a lot of pastors that are around Trump.

And I'm, you know, I just want to put this out there. Maybe you have a thought on this. Is he getting good theological insights on how to explain things? If you're going to court the evangelical vote, if you're going to depend on the Christian vote, wouldn't it stand to reason that you would hear an accurate explanation of the gospel and be able to relay that? That's something that I'm seeing a little bit throughout, not just the White House, but in Congress and so forth and on the media.

And I'm thinking, wow, man, do we have, we got a little bit of work cut out to do. I don't know that we're speaking with clarity into this issue on what is the gospel. You know, and if you do good things, you get to go to heaven is what I'm hearing a lot. And that's not the gospel. That's not good news.

That's just if you work it, you warrant it. And that's not the gospel. The gospel is that we are without hope. And God sent His Son a redemptive plan to not only bear the penalty of our sins, but to impute His righteousness to us.

And He not only died, He rose again and He ascended. And I think those are the things, the foundational elements of the gospel we do. Otherwise, if it's up to me, how is that good news?

And by the way, if you want to hear the good news, you got to first hear the bad news. Those are things that we need to reinforce in our public officials and media and so forth, because they're out there saying things and embracing things that are not consistent with scripture. And I know He's not the theologian-in-chief. I get that. And we're not responsible to make sure He believes it, but we are responsible to tell it. And there is the difference.

So just something to think about. 866-34-TRUTH, 866-348-7884. We're going to get to the phone lines here in just a little bit.

I also want to direct your attention to a new blog post that's a series my wife has been doing. And she's still in the hospital. She just got out of ICU last night. She's in a regular room. She was able to stand.

Now, why is that important? Well, first off, she's missing both legs. That in itself is kind of cool that she's able to stand. She has really good prosthetics. But they had to rework her back and her hips and everything, because she's been bent over at almost 45 degrees for the last 10 years. And before that, she was still bending over the way her back was deformed with it 20-something years. And so she was able to stand for the first time on her prosthesis. They had to get a prosthetist to come because her legs were adjusted for the way she used to stand, not the way she is now. And her back is fixed. Her hips are fixed. But her prosthesis were not. So you and I would be able to stand up and adjust with our calves and so forth.

Well, she can't. She doesn't have calves and ankles. So we had to come and adjust those things. And before we did it, she was on her tiptoes with her knees flexed. So it was putting a lot of pressure on her knees. And she had about two inches under her heel of air. That's how off those legs were to accommodate her poor posture. But now that she's been surgically repaired, and we're still in Denver and she's been here for some time, 40 days and 40 nights, actually more than that, they fixed it so they put the heels back down on the floor. And she's able to stand up straight.

Wow, that's different. I haven't stood on my heels flat and been able to stand straight in a very long time. And you think about that, how long 20-plus years is.

That's a long time. And the strain that's been on her muscles and everything, and she's having to work at it because she's having to train her muscles to do something different than they've done in decades. And it's one of those things where I'm reminded of a lady I worked with a long time ago. And this was in an office that I worked in, and she had a terrible limp. Horrific limp. She had had a bad wreck and lost about three inches of bone mass from her right leg. And so she had this horrible walking gait that she had done for years. One day she came in and she was walking straight.

She had gone to an orthotist and even had a shoe lift built for her and was able to make her walk straight for the first time. It changed everything about her. Three weeks later, she came back in with the horrible limp.

And I said, what happened? She said it was just too painful to change. It was just too painful to change.

And that always struck me as very sad. And I want to assure you that Gracie is in it to win it, and she's going to change. She's going to allow her body to go through a very painful period of adjustment to a new posture for the first time in years. And I don't know how they measure time in heaven. I don't know.

I don't even know what it means. Whatever measurement there is, I would imagine that for the first, I don't know how long, a couple of weeks or so, Gracie, when she gets there, she'll spend stretching. And because she's been confined to this broken body of hers for so long. I mean, she was hurt back in 1983. And she's now had, that I can count, 89 surgeries.

And three of them have been in the last 40 days. So it's been a haul for her. But she's got a new blog post on my website, PeterRosenberger.com, and I'd love for you to take a moment to read it and maybe share it with some others that you know are going through some stuff. She's writing a series on pain.

Now, she's been in pain since she woke up back in the fall of 1983 after this horrible accident of hers. And she has some interesting thoughts on it that you wouldn't consider unless you've done what she's done and lived what she's lived. How does she do it? How does she function like this? One of the things I admire about Gracie, if you meet her, you know her.

You know this. You'd see it immediately. She's not miserable. She's not. You could tell she hurts. You could see the strain on her at times. But she's incredibly... to trust God with this very difficult life she has. And the question begs then, why?

Why? Why is she not miserable? Why is she willing to trust Him? She writes about that at PeterRosenberger.com.

Why don't you go out and find out? After you read it, share it with some others. I think you'll find it incredibly meaningful. And while you're there, look around at all the other things that we offer.

And I think you will find some things that will touch your heart there and really draw you closer to the Lord with it. This is Peter Rosenberg and this is Truth Talk Live. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live.

This is Peter Rosenberg. Glad to be with you. Thanks for joining along here. 866-34-TRUTH, 866-348-7884. Let's open up those phone lines. Let's go to Mike in Ohio. Mike, good afternoon. How are you feeling? I'm feeling... well, you made fun of me, Mike. I'm feeling good before and I don't know if I should say that. All I did was quote James Brown. I know. I'm feeling good. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Sorry, sir. Gracie, I was going to call about 12 and I'm changing my mind on this. And I'm a man, a guy of prayer and I've been praying for you and Gracie.

But how should I direct my prayers towards Gracie and you? Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow, as the hymn writer said. Great for today, bright for tomorrow, is that what you said?

Bright hope for tomorrow. Do you know the hymn? Do you know where that's from? No, I don't, sir.

Sorry. Great is thy faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness.

Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine with 10,000 beside. God has seen fit for whatever reason to allow Gracie to endure this and seem fit for us to go through this, and He has not relieved her of this particular burden. So He has purpose. I don't know what His purpose is, but I trust Him. Why do I trust Him?

Why does Gracie trust Him? Because He has saved us from something far worse than 89 surgeries, 40 years of pain, and multiple amputations. And we don't like it, and I've offered my consulting services to God on many occasions. Do you know He hasn't taken me up on it one time? And I've offered, but He doesn't. As my father would say, God's got this problem. He thinks He's God, and He's pretty sure you're not. And so I have to accept those things, and I don't have to like it.

I don't have to think this is fun, because it's not, and Gracie certainly doesn't. But we recognize that He who began a good work in us is what, Mike? I'm sorry.

I was thinking about other things. I'm sorry. Good work in us. He who began a good work in us is? My brain is just stopping.

I'm sorry. The Scripture is, He who began a good work in us is faithful the day of Christ Jesus. So if you want to know how to pray for us, or anybody, we certainly welcome prayers for healing. But we also recognize that God has, like I said, seemed fit for this. And in His wisdom, if I had God's power, I would change a lot of things.

If I had His wisdom, I wouldn't change anything. And so we pray for strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow. I would encourage all of you to look up the text, excuse me, Of Great Is Thy Faithfulness, particularly that third verse. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth. Thine own dear, now Mike, you got me messing up on that.

I'm sorry. Thine own dear, thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide. Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine with ten thousand beside.

Right. Endure. Scripture is filled with admonitions to persevere, to endure.

We have a culture that wants instant relief and is going to, if you do this and this and this, God will give you your breakthrough. God's going to give you this. If you name it, you can claim it.

If you blab it, you can grab it. Right. How does that line up with scripture that says, in this world you will face this. And there's the implication that you're going to have hardships and he's going to see you through these hardships, like Paul said, you know, for I am convinced of these things.

And if we're going to have, how do we pray then? Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow. And by the way, Mike, and I'm waxing a little bit on that, but hope in the English language has been diluted to wishful thinking. Like I hope it doesn't rain today or a parking space or I hope Waffle House doesn't run out of hash browns, which by the way, that would be a national crisis. But hope in the Bible is conviction persuaded.

We anchor in that and that is where Gracie and I live. We know that what we deal with is hard. So anyway, I went on a little bit long with that, but that's how you pray. Does that resonate? Yeah, that resonates.

And you know, it reminds me of a time where God answered my prayers. There was one time I'm building a house and I'm drilling a well for, you know, for the water to come out of the ground. And the well guy come out and he's telling me it's going to be 250 feet deep. And I'm like, oh wow, I can't afford 250 feet.

I mean, oh my gosh, I didn't leave enough budget. He said, well, you need to get this ditch witch lady that she comes out, she uses a stick and then points on the ground where the water is going to come out. And I'm like, oh, I don't, I'm sorry, I'm a Christian.

I don't need that stuff, you know what I mean? And so I told the guy and he said, well, I'll come back tomorrow and I'll start drilling your well. Well, I started walking around the yard and I started praying. And I said, God, I can't afford all this money to have this well dug, you know, Lord, to help me out here. And I said, and then God said, okay, dig right here. And I'm like, right here?

And he goes, yes, right here, you're standing right on it. And I said, okay, I'm going to dig right here. Well, the guy comes out and the guy says, you should dig over here or you should dig over there. And I said, no, no, I'm going to dig right here.

This is where God told me to dig. I said, okay. He said, okay, you're paying for it.

I said, yes, I am. And I said, God told me to dig right here. Well, he dug right there and he calls me up and he says, I just hit an artesian well. And it sprayed me all full water and only had to dig 50 feet and God answered my prayer, you know, that I didn't have to spend that much money. And then I was able to witness to the guy who dug the well and my neighbor who wanted me to get the ditch which couldn't believe that, you know, God told me where to dig. And it was a miracle, really. And I was able to witness or be a witness, be an instrument to those two, you know, from God so that I can show them that there is a God. And he was my neighbor for many years. And we talked about God for many years, but nothing really came about to my knowledge.

But I just planted the seeds to both of those people. And it was amazing that God answered my prayer over water, you know, and a well. But I feel like God can do anything.

And I know he can. And I'll be praying for Gracie and you guys. I mean, I really will. Well, I appreciate that very much, Mike. And it is quite a journey that we've been on, and it promises to continue being a challenging journey. She's a long ways from OK. She's a long ways from that. I would love to meet you guys sometime, you know what I mean?

Well, I don't know if I'm coming to Ohio any time soon. Right now I'd just be happy to get out of Denver and get back to our home in Montana. But she's got a ways to go with physical therapy, and it takes work. But every step she takes is like Caleb when he went into the Promised Land.

He and Joshua were the only ones that didn't have to die in the desert. And every step he took, he owned the land. And with Gracie, I think every step she takes, she's owning it. And it's a testament to it. And one of the scriptures she clings to is in 2 Corinthians, when she said, I will boast all the more gladly in my weakness, for in my weakness Christ's presence rests upon me. And His grace is sufficient for her. It's a hard thing. And her dear friend Johnny Erickson taught it. It's a hard thing that Johnny and Gracie carry. Between the two of them, they've got over 100 years of disability and suffering.

That's a lot. But they trust. And why do they trust? Because He stretched out His arms and gave His life for us on the cross. He imputed it. He allowed our sin to be imputed to Him, and He bore that. And that is the clarity of the gospel.

That He suffered, died, buried, and rose again, and ascended to heaven, and He is coming back. And in the meantime, may we be faithful. We're going to have difficult things. You have them. I have them.

We all have them. Gracie seems to have a little bit more than most. But you know what?

She gets to... My mother told a story about this. She told me a long time ago, down there on the coast of South Carolina. I'm from South Carolina.

I don't know if y'all can tell by the accent. But the palm trees that are on the front lines are all warped and polished because of the wind and salt. The ones behind them stand straight.

But mom said the ones on the front line there by the beach, they get the best view. Sometimes the warp and the suffering allows us to get the best view of God. Grace and His wonderful mercy. And that is Truth Talk Live. This is Peter Rosenberg. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com Welcome to Truth Talk Live. We're glad to be with you here. It is just a treat to be able to come to you every week, every Wednesday. 866-34-TRUTH. 866-348-7884 if you want to be a part of the program.

I love this month, particularly for 2025 here, because March 2005, 20 years ago, this month, we took our first trip to West Africa, to Accra, Ghana. Our prosthetic limb outreach. Gracie envisioned this 30 years ago when she gave up her remaining leg. She'd already given up her right leg in 91 and in 95, she gave up her left leg. And while she was in the hospital, she said, I know what I'm going to do.

And I was like, what are you going to do? And she said, I'm going to put legs on people and tell them about Jesus. And I thought, well, can we get out of the hospital first, baby? And it took us a little longer than she wanted. She was pretty insistent about it. But we started putting together a plan and figured this out as best as we could.

And we just jumped into the deep end of the pool. And her prosthetist went over there with us. Wonderful guy, he's an amputee himself. And our first patient was this month, 20 years ago. His name was Jonathan Anukwa.

And he came in, it was really kind of odd at first when we saw him. Now, the way we do prosthetic legs, I don't know how much you know about prosthetics. It's a fascinating field. And you take a mold of the patient's leg, amputated limb. You use, like you're casting it with a broken arm. And you then take that cast, but you take that off, and then you have indelible markers that you put in there to show where certain things are on their limb, you know, the kneecap and so forth, all these little, the patella, all those things. And then you fill it with plaster, and you make a mold of their amputated limb.

Residual limb, sometimes you call it a stump. And you take the, you saw the cast off, and you're left with this beautiful plaster mold, of which you then modify it with different tools to help smooth everything out. And then you laminate it with carbon fire.

This way we do it. You can do it with thermoplastics, but you've got to have an oven that works and so forth. But we use carbon fiber because it's much more durable.

It's lighter, but it holds up really well. These are how Gracie's legs are made. And then you, and you have a little adapter you put at the side down, and that's how you laminate it. And you put an adapter, and you laminate that adapter in, and that's what you attach the pylon and the foot and knees and whatever you need to do from there. But it's all about building that socket for that patient that fits like a glove to them. And then once that's done, you take out the plaster of it, and you sand it down to make it really smooth so it fits under their skin. Well, actually, they wear a liner between that, a gel liner.

And then, so it's a pretty involved process. And then you put the foot and the pylons, all that kind of stuff on. Well, this guy came in, and he was walking. He had a leg, but he had found this leg somewhere.

He had a terrible walking gait. Found this leg somewhere, and he couldn't bend his leg because what he had done, it didn't fit him. You don't ever want to use somebody else's prosthetic leg. Everything has to be custom fit to you. We can recycle the foot, the screws, the adapters, the connectors, the pylons, the knees, all that stuff we can recycle. And we do that through a program we have.

We partner with a wonderful organization out of Nashville named Core Civic, and they manage prisons around the country, one in Arizona, where inmates volunteer to help us disassemble those things so we can recycle those parts. But the socket itself has to be done by hand, custom fit for that patient. But Jonathan had one. He had found a leg, and he was wearing this thing. But he had wrapped so much ace bandage and cloth, old rags kind of stuff, around his stump to fit into this thing because it was just too big for him. And he had so much on it that he couldn't bend it, his leg.

So they have little trotros, little buses that they take for public transportation and so forth. Well, he couldn't even sit on that thing because he couldn't bend his leg because he had so much cloth on there. And we started unwrapping this, and Gracie's prosthetist looked and said, we're going to change this boy's life, and stuff off of him and molded his leg and made him a brand-new leg, and he was our first patient. And I watched Jonathan run out in the parking lot of this dusty clinic in West Africa. We had intermittent electricity.

It was pretty rudimentary at the time, and we put a lot of investment and time with it and taken a lot of teams, and it was exceptional. But I'll never forget Jonathan. Many years later he got malaria and he passed away, but not before he had been walking and leaping and praising God. I followed his wife and son and their path. His son just graduated. Jonathan was a cartographer and drew maps for the government of Ghana, and it was just an exceptional moment, the first patient we'd ever treated, where Gracie's vision that she'd had 10 years prior, she saw it come alive right in front of her.

It would have never happened had she not trusted God with her own loss. And it's exceptional, and I'd like for you to go out and take a look at what we do. You can get to it from PeterRosenberger.com and just click on the links to Standing With Hope. Our patient this month, we feature a patient every month. The patient this month, his name is Baba.

He's 62 years old, and he had gangrene in his foot, and they had to take his foot, and we put a new one on him. And he's standing, and we're pointing him to Christ. And the scripture we use is, Silver and gold I have I none, but such as I have I give, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, walk. And they do. And it's exceptional to watch this. And since then, we have treated hundreds and hundreds of patients. We have recycled well over a thousand prostheses that come from all over the country to a prison. Broken people go to a prison where broken lives help re-salvage and recycle those parts, and to send them over to Africa where the workers there will build a new limb for other broken people. And all this was launched by one woman who trusted God with her brokenness because he was the one broken for her.

Isn't that exceptional? And I know that the caller in the last block wanted to know how to pray for us. That's why I say strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. I have no idea what God intends to do, the journey that Gracie and I have been on. People say, well, look at the testimony you all have. Well, we're not that noble, you know. I've got to tell you, if it came down to it, I'd like to see Gracie have some relief.

Billy Graham had a pretty good run, and he had both legs. But because Gracie trusted him with it, look at what has happened. Look at what's happened. And if you want to see the pictures of folks, I'd really encourage you to go out there. You can get straight to there for my website or just go straight to standingwithhope.com.

That's the name of the ministry, standingwithhope.com. And we're launching a new campaign, 25 and 25. We're looking for folks who say, you know what, this has value. We'd like to be a part of this. We'd like to give the gift that keeps on walking.

25 a month in 2025. You know, we welcome the help. We have two outreaches at Standing With Hope. One of them is the prosthetic limb ministry that Gracie envisioned, and the other is for the family caregivers. And I do a program for family caregivers on this network and others each week in a large podcast and so forth. The mission we have at Standing With Hope is for the wounded and those who care for them.

And you minister out of your wounds because that's where you meet the healer. You know, and I've got a caregiver calendar that I made for my fellow caregivers. It's not too late to get one. If you want one, let me know.

For anybody that donates anything to Standing With Hope, we'll send you one. And I know it's already March, but you can see it. And there are pictures I've taken from where we live in Montana, and I put a quote for each month. There's only one month that does it, and you'll know why. It's Memorial Day because I didn't think it needed any quote.

But this month's quote for March, and it shows the view from her dad's deck looking out over the valley, and then you see the mountain range there. And the quote is, We minister out of our wounds, for that is where we meet the healer. And I'm asking you, what about your wounds? Have you met the healer in your wounds?

I think sometimes we're so insistent that God get us out of this mess that we overlook that He may be more interested in meeting you in it and dealing with certain things in that. These are things that Gracie and I have learned in a hospital room, and we've spent a lot of time in them. And the nurses that all come in and treat her and the doctors, they recognize that this has been going on a long time with her. She's been dealing with this long before most of her nurses and many of her doctors were ever born. I mean, they're getting younger every year.

Have you noticed that? And it's exceptional. Excuse me, I haven't been able to shake this cold, and I still don't have a cough button here, so y'all just be family.

But it's an extraordinary thing to see how God uses it to accomplish mighty things. So I go back to what the caller asked, how do I pray for you guys? Same way I would pray for you. Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow. This is Peter Rosenberger. This is Truth Talk Live. Go out to PeterRosenberger.com for more information, and I'd love to hear from you.
