Pray for America


I thought I would post Nancy Demoss' prayer for America today instead of my normal witty banter. Please spend some time praying for our nation this evening and tomorrow. May the eyes of the people be opened long enough to vote in accordance to God's will.

 After this election hooplah, I shall post pictures of Laomai on her new bike in her super cool helmet. Stay tuned.
