The Favor

We have been talking a ton lately here at  our Place Called Simplicity about praying specifically. It is exciting how many have begun to do it and have seen God answer in amazingly crazy ways! Well here’s a powerful story to illustrate the point – and it’s been freshly added to our Memorial Box as…
