28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your old men will dream dreams,

your young men will see visions. 

29 Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

~Joel 2:28-29~

Harrell Sharkey is home. Pray for him as he continues recovery at home.
