It will be good when everyone is moved in there and settled. Tomorrow we hope to find a few things that they need for the house. George put in a whole week there last week.

God is bigger than any election! I give praises this morning because I am not afraid. People are acting like they need to be afraid---don't give in to the enemy...this is what he wants! I love my country and my God!
