One of his favorite passages is Proverbs 3:5-6 but the Bible contains so many awesome revelations of God’s love for us, it’s difficult for him to choose one.

 

Charlie loves to learn new things. God’s world is so rich that our appetite for learning should never be satisfied. God has shown me so much about how He works through all ages, children through older adults.
