CHANGED IN HIS 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 />

Just when I thought I could no longer keep<br />

speak to my heart say<strong>in</strong>g, "Son, you are never<br />
