[Faith-talk] pray for my brother and family

[Poppa Bear]

Thanks Debbie and Sheila, glad that his hand in my life can be what shines. 
I know we all have an amazing story, that is the nature of Amazing Grace, 
taking what is dead and giving it life. I was a dead dog and he gave me life 
in His name apart from anything I could do.
For His glory, blessings
