In Remembrance
Pray For Our Nation

Today, our nation shall cry. Today, our nation shall weep. Into our souls the metal birds fly No longer in peace can we sleep. America the beautiful, America the scarred. The scene is pitiful Freedom marred. Casualties too numerous to tell Innocence ripped apart. Rumbling, the mighty towers fell, Crushing my heart. Forever lives September 11, 2001, Remembered by all creation. Our one hope is God's only Son
Pray for our nation.
Mandi Shawnee Johnson


Deus vobiscum

To: The Mayor

Good evening, dear Mayor! Thanks for your great lesson in God's Word. If we reach out He is always there to take our hand and help us in any way He can. But.....we do have to reach out! And we always should reach out to one another, too! It is His way!
