Pray For ....
 
Our country is going through a difficult time. Our political system seems to be tearing apart with such strong opinions and beliefs on both sides of the aisle. Please include in your prayers our nation and the electric system, and especially on the issue of immigration reform and immigrants throughout the United States. Then plan to vote!
