Dreams of River Valley People

At the end of our InLife series on April 5, 2009, we taught and thought about dreams. Then people wrote down their dreams and posted them for others to see. These touched me deeply. God truly created us to live incredible lives. What would our world look like if we all worked diligently toward our dreams? Most of these are too large to for us to do alone. They are God-sized, and they require God to empower and assist. But, that is what he loves to do.  Here they are to inspire you:
