Visionary Gail Crawford’s New Computer Technology Resource Center Offers Enhanced Quality of Life Through Services! Spiritual wisdom teaches us that we are not rescued from the storm merely to horde our blessings in selfish solitude…but to share our blessed salvation with the needs of others. “You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.”[Psalm 18:28] It is this glorious light that brightens our path and causes us to step out on faith. It is often through the faith of entrepreneurship that we launch our God-ordained ministries… “For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,”[2 Peter 1:8]… which teaches us to be like unto Him; the best servant to our Father’s flock, we can be.
