I still am stable, but one day I will need ...  Read More

I scheduled the hour of prayer yesterday at 3. However, I couldn’t do it at that time because we were busy.

I'm going to keep challenging us until we reach the goal. Why? Because it takes time for a snowball to get going. You have to form, compact, and get it nice and round. After you get it just right, you can start it rolling. It will become unstoppab...  Read More
