Yesterday, Mark told me he and Pastor Adam were going to go out to a site to look at some steel that’s being donated to the church. I asked if I could go and he asked why I wanted to go.

Just a quick report as it’s gotten late.
Continue readingI went to my church for the first time since I’ve been back, and I asked for prayer for my family, especially for my sister, Lauryn. I would ask the same of those of you who pray.

My mother, God bless her soul, did! I was already awake anyway, but I was glad she called.

He had a green leprechaun hat, the green and white hat band which he took off the hat, and a green scarf to give out, but after that, he said anyone else without green was on their own!
