That means we have our own diverse talents, perspectives, and understandings.

In just 10 days, a government takes over. So, let us all pray together in unity in hope, and In a spirit of love of country and each other, that this new government will be moved by the Spirit of God to follow the will of God for us as a nation to do what is right before God, for each and every one of us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benediction 1Jn 3: 1-3 Dc.
