Light Moment

Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill my heart,
my world, my universe.
Amen

I sent a message to John over the weekend and he informed me that he talked to a person who is going to make a decision about the candidates. He said he will make sure that you get enough needed support!

 

Now we need to wait and then we will have to celebrate!
