[Thespiritexpress] Prayer Request

[Riantee Rand]

I read your message the way i believe you intended it Toni, it didn’t seem to lead to the assumption of the worst, it was simple and discreet and I thank you for letting us know that Mike needed our prayers, I gladly include him in my daily ritual.
Thank you again
Riantee
