Pastor Steve Preaches

I still like dressing and gravy the best. After supper, I gathered everyone around and gave them the background of

Our friend Pastor Steve arrived from Uganda, while our good friend Dolly was visiting. So, politics and the election will have to wait. I am pressed for time, so all I can tell you so far is that we’ve had an incredible week… God has blessed us in unimaginable ways.
