I had several people tell me last week (November 20) how meaningful my invocation prayer was for them, so I told them I would write it out for future reference: Father, we love you, and we thank you very much for the love that you have demonstrated for us; that while we were yet sinners, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
