We've had it happen in our church. As I get older, I realize how temporary and very quick this life on earth really is.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112988669895238674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-3004498063420132382016-09-28T13:30:49.154-04:002016-09-28T13:30:49.154-04:00I once heard a pastor say we were not created with...I once heard a pastor say we were not created with a file folder for death.
