Good morning my friends, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset.

It is time for us to get our minds align with the truth of God. If you're new to the morning

of John chapter 14, where he's speaking to his disciples.

He says, you know the way to where I'm going,

and he's referring to heaven.

And Thomas, one of his disciples, says, Lord, we do not know where you're going.
