Pray WEB

My heart is heavy and my eyes fill with tears.  I am surprised and I am surprised at my being surprised. Someone I call friend is dealing with loved ones placed in jail for their faith.  For sharing their faith.  For false accusations on behalf of the Giver of Their Faith.

Thoughts on Closed Adoptions & Tracking

April 16, 2013
