A few years ago, my daughter raided our closet for a "vintage" windbreaker set for 90's day during Homecoming week at school. (Don't judge. I can't be the only one who hordes old clothes.) While I hope color-blocking never comes back into style, I love a good vintage tune like the rest. Shane & Shane revived an 80's hit in their song "Thy Word/Where Else Would I Go." Do you know what NEVER goes out of style? God's Word. Let's explore it together.The opening phrase of the song leads us directly to Psalm 119.
