And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord.
Luke 1:46
Today is the day set aside to remember those who died while serving in our military. David had an uncle, his daddy’s brother, Hollis Alford, who was killed in France during WWII and was buried there. Take time to think of those in your family and in your area, who gave their lives for us to have our freedoms today.

We have some good articles to read today. The article about 700 children in VBS in India really caught my eye.
