"Children, these are My words" is a true story about the Lord placing three individuals, with distinct personalities, on an unknown thirty day journey with Him. During that time, it became obvious that God's idea of a thirty day journey looked totally different than the year and a half it took to actually complete. In the "School of Hard Knocks," it took much discipline, focus, and prayer to complete several assignments given to them by the Lord. Occasionally, there was doubt, disobedience, and indifference, as they struggled to obey His words. Ultimately, throughout the journey the love and patience, shown by the Lord, transformed those challenges into obedience, trust and love. If you were asked to go on a journey such as this, would you be able to do it? GOD IS THE GREAT "I AM," WE ARE NOT See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. 1 John 3:1 (NAS) Merle Goldman Hogan was raised in a Jewish Orthodox home.
