The Book of Revelation Unveiled ------------------------------   This Is the Way... Great and Durable Consequences by Robin Webber As I sit in my office on President's Day 2006, I am not alone. Happily, I never suffer for companions in this place where I come to think, renew my spirit and share my thoughts with others. I like company, good company, and over the years, I've been blessed to find it. I normally find myself in the presence of two special people when I take a seat, kick up my feet and ponder life.

The prophet Daniel describes this by proclaiming, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings" (Daniel 2:20-21). God understands the times and how to use them toward His glory.
