Hello, my friends. Welcome back. If you are new to the Morning Mindset, I want to welcome

number two. It says, the terror of a king is like the growling of a lion. So stop there

for a moment. Imagine you hear a lion out in the woods growling. You're going to have

some some terror rise up in your heart, right? You're going to wonder what in the world
