I have never seen Your power on display like this. Lost in my own thoughts, I realized Dmitry was still speaking. ‘I am sorry,’ I apologized, ‘I wasn’t listening.’ Dmitry dismissed my concerns with a small shake of his head and a rye smile. ‘That’s ok,’ he told me. ‘I wasn’t talking to you,’ he went onto explain. ‘God and I were discussing something. Your visit interrupted that. So, I, now busy with your own thoughts the Lord and I went back to finishing that conversation.’ . . .” ~ Nik Ripken
