Pray

Please pray for two sweet girls and their moms
Ashby and Shay Shull
Charlotte and April Robsom

Cherish your health, the only wealth that matters.

Mercy

Let me be kind
Even if
I'm full
Of rage
Let me be merciful
Even when
I see injustice
Let me be
The embodiment
Of grace
Even if
They don't deserve it
