A 27-year-old man from Indiana is happy to be alive after being trapped in his crashed vehicle for six days.

Indiana State Police say Matt Reum's truck went off Interstate 94 in northwest Indiana ahead of a bridge, missing the guardrail and rolling several times before landing on the other side of the creek, out of sight from the road above. 

It wasn't until six days later that he was discovered by two fishermen who happened to spot his crumpled vehicle. 

Psalm 140:7

If you determine to live according to biblical standards, be sure that your enemy is seeking to devour you. You will encounter the darts of the Devil. 

Someone put it this way: "Whoever desires to walk with God walks right into the crucible." All who choose godliness live in a crucible. The tests will come. But all is not lost. Far from it! 

Our great hope and assurance is that the One in us is greater than the one in the world.

Matthew 6:19-21

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Properties up for re-inspection in the current calendar year will start receiving letters as part of the County’s annual re-inspection process to ensure assessments are fair and accurate. If we have received no response, a secondary RFI/reminder letter will be mailed out in March.

A young Christian singer who used the stage of America's Got Talent (AGT) to share her story and inspire millions is being remembered in a special way. 

Jane Marczewski, whose stage name was Nightbirde, passed away in Feb 2022 after a battle with cancer. Marczewski was given just a two percent chance of survival, but that didn't stop her from pushing forward.

"I have a two percent chance of survival, but two percent is not zero percent. Two percent is something, and I wish people knew how amazing it is." 

A pastor from Arizona who was shot in the head while street preaching is now awake and has been moved out of the ICU. 

26-year-old Hans Schmidt was promoting Victory Chapel First Phoenix Church on a street corner on Nov. 15, 2023, when the shooting occurred. 

Schmidt, a former military combat medic, husband and father to two young children, was in critical condition, and his church said he was in desperate need of a miracle. 

About two weeks ago, his wife, Zulya Schmidt, posted a photo of Hans awake in his hospital bed, surrounded by his family.

Romans 11:33-34

The New American Standard declares that last phrase: "How unfathomable His ways!" 

Maybe you've come to discover this in your own experience. You've tried to "trace out His path" and you can't pull it off. You've tried to fathom His "unfathomable" ways and you can't. It just doesn't compute. It blows your microprocessor.
