"Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." - 1 Sam 15:22b

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. - Proverbs 16:9


This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
