CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />
<strong>His</strong> presence, and I literally felt <strong>His</strong> presence<br />
<strong>in</strong>tensify as I cont<strong>in</strong>ued. The more the <strong>Presence</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>tensified, the more my heart melted. I was<br />
close to weep<strong>in</strong>g openly on the plane, but I did<br />
not care.<br />
