@SheriffChody I'm praying for you. "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, & thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings & all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful & quiet life, godly & dignified in every way." 1 Ti 2:1-2(ESV)
“In the crucible of life, God our Goldsmith skims off our impurities. Through trials, God burns away our self-reliance and self-serving attitudes, so that our genuineness reflects his glory and brings praise to him.” - Life Application Bible Commentary 1-2 Pet., Jude. p. 31
@Mike_Pence Thanks for all you and Karen are doing for our Lord and our blessed country! We were blessed to have you as our Indiana Senator, then Governor and now US VP! I pray for you each month on day 2!
Now is the time when the world needs your gift. Create music, make art, make good food, write hope filled words, create the things that communicate hope and carry the light. Small acts of love and beauty are how we fight the darkness of fear and despair.
