Greetings Saints!
I had a chance to present at the Extravaganza (or as I found out, “The E”), in New Orleans, which was absolutely amazing. People were so kind and I loved meeting so many folks. My cup was overflowing, and I don’t know if you know just how much a simple, “Hi,” and “I watch your stuff!,” meant to me. It was Grace for my soul.
I appreciate your support of all kinds of this ministry. Prayers, Kind Notes, and Monetary Donations. It means the world to me!
