Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your dedication to follow after God in this season of all our lives! I truly want to draw closer to our Savior, for I feel that the cares of life have dulled and drawn me away from my first love! Please pray that I will start a fresh walk with our Savior during this season. Thank you for your ministry!
