Today, we look to our future with hope and with courage because we know that Christ our Savior will lead us safely on our journey from earthly tent to heavenly home when our time comes … just as He has done for Guy and for all the saints who love Him.

You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more

Contributed by Lanny Smith on May 24, 2020
