Susan M Ellingsen Munster, IN Though not related to those dealing with Hurricane Harvey, may I ask you to take a look at this page. The woman in question was one of our Readers neighbors and is still a good friend; anyone who has ever read our pages, knows exactly how much we value…
How to Help Hurricane Harvey “. . . Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” ~ Matthew 25:40 ~ Dear Friends, I have asked one of our long time Readers, who lives in the area impacted…
