Friday

But for you who revere my name,

the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays.

And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

~Malachi 4:2~

Please continue to pray for Douglas Warren. Today is day # 96 for him at North Oak fighting Covid-19. He seems to be making some improvement. Keep praying.
