"I Say A Little Prayer"

Aretha Franklin~


Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

He has us in his heart.

Dedicated to all the people of Moore Oklahoma. My heart is with my home away from home and all those affected by the tornados. I'm so humbled by the teachers who protected so many children, the first responders that were on the scene immediately, and all the volunteers who are there helping. Make sure to keep sending prayers and donations their way.


thank you, fresh!

When the Storm hit Joplin, Moore sent people to help us. They had been hit by an EF-5, they said they KNEW we were going to make it. Those volunteers gave many hope. Now Joplin is in full gear to help them back.
