Prayers In Action
Circle-back Psaki says prayer doesn’t work. I can’t say how many times I have heard on the news how evil her text about prayer is ineffective. Nevermind… that the kids who were in the church were in there to pray when that maniac began this horrific nightmare for the families of these kids and the…

My Church Community
Growing up I saw this community in action. My grandparents, on both sides of my family, were at the forefront of those activities.
