Sometimes we face a challenge and all the ways we want deal with it turn out not to be possible and so we have to meet it 'head on'. That's what my worship this week is all about, it also includes one of my favourite stories one of the best story tellers! As always, I hope you enjoy this worship and that it makes you think.
