Jonah 2:8-9 “Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Lord.”

I have had some very hard days lately… I have had to make a stand for my Lord and Savior in a way I never thought I would have to.
