This is what I pray for all the time that we take care of each other. If we don’t do it–nobody would. I’m so proud of you. I know this is kind of things you would do. I always see your heart even while you dance. You dance like you have Holy Spirit in you. Your voice has a Holy Spirit in it-seriously. Yes–May the Lord be with for thinking of our people. We need each other. You’re one of the best among us. God is with on the stage, while you trave on plane-while you are at home. The Lord is with you and your family.
