Important Prayer Request

Please pray for Marsha and her family. They lost their sweet little Dozer last night. I didn’t want to believe it, but sadly it is true. Marsha has been such an encouragement to so many of us and her love for and the joy she (and her husband David) takes in them just literally pours out of her blog.
