There must be some mistake.

Sherri, our church had special prayer for Elizabeth this morning.

It was a very sober and "weepy" moment as we all prayed for our brothers & sisters overseas. We will be taking up a special offering at all the churches here Wednesday to send over there to help during the fighting. I feel like it's Kenya turmoil all over again!
This is truely eye opening to know what kind of a price they pay for the gospel in other countries, and here in America so many miss church frequently and lose the victory over nothing.

I will be praying!
