The Beauty of Silence

“For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation…For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him.” -Psalm 62:1,5 I have always been drawn to the story of the Christmas carol “Silent Night.” This was further enhanced by my visit »

STEARNE

When Stearne was 15, he was mainly interested in living for himself. He partied hard, lived the “good life,” and made some choices that ultimately led him to be sent to the Paul Anderson Youth Home. Fortunately for Stearne, God had new plans for him on the PAYH campus. »
