And from her prison cell she wrote words of pure worship — thou art my delight.In 1956, Dawson Trotman — founder of The Navigators — drowned at Schroon Lake, New York, while holding a young woman above water until the boat came back. Billy Graham preached his funeral and said, "Daws died the same way he lived — holding others up."Two lives. Two deaths. One posture.Today's scripture: John 15:13Take heart.
