Hello, my friends. It's so good to be back with you again for this opportunity that you

and I have to align our minds with the truth of God's Word for this day.

My name is Carrie Green. If you're new to the morning mindset, welcome. I'm glad that

you're here. Today, I want to invite you to reach out to me. I love to interact with

listeners of the morning mindset. I get five or six emails a week, sometimes more from

people just like you who are just connecting with me, letting me know how the morning mindset's

pray for them. I would love to hear from you. You can always reach out using my email.

It's Carrie, C-A-R-E-Y, at carrygreen.com.

things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent

me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but
