I’m on the road again today, this time heading north, far north, all the way to Maine, in fact I’m going about as far north and east as you can go and still be in the United States. I’m heading for Danforth, Maine where I will be speaking at Living Water Bible Camp this week. This is my third visit to Living Waters, and I am alway…
