Glenn DavisBrother Michael, I really enjoyed the message this morning, "Gods plan for the family". Your word from him is what this world needs, its what I need, it is the hope of Christ in me. Yes we all have our trials and temptations, but the word of God says, Let god arise and the enemy be scattered, in Christs love, Pastor Glenn
