In closing July, this day is brighter when I reach out, think of you and thank you for your faithful presence here.  Trusting also that no one is sick, unemployed or grieving the loss of a loved one as most of us are still in the thick of this horrible pandemic.

You are not alone, we can virtually ‘bump elbows’ in prayerful Hope for a healthier, more prosperous and peaceful future.

“How good, how delightful it is for people to live together in unity.“

–Psalm 133:1

May you enjoy the sultry haze of August.
