The Secret is Out! by Jeff Gang

WORD: “To you, O king, as you lay in bed, came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and the revealer of mysteries disclosed to you what is to be. - “Daniel 2:29

THOUGHT: Is it me or am I the only one who doesn’t like email forwards? It’s annoying. Listen people. I don’t read them. I can’t find the delete key fast enough. Please stop sending them to me. However, I’ve come to realize that there is one forward in life I can’t ignore—I can’t delete because it won’t go away. It’s been sent down through the ages. It’s been passed on from generation to generation. From decade to decade. From century to century. Through the millennia it comes down. The message is clear. It reads as follows:
