Deeply Troubled

I woke up in the wee hours when it was still very dark this morning. I started praying for Josh and the rescuers. And then as I lay there in the dark, I sensed an urgency to get up and spend time with the Lord. I always check my email just to see if there…

Sweet friends we need your help, please. It is a long story, which I cannot go into, but due to circumstances that were completely out of our control we have not been able to file our paperwork with immigration.
