*** Special note: Hey everyone,
As we are instructed to pray always and to pray without ceasing, I think these are some good areas where we can do that. Let us offer prayer for:
- the sick, and the families of those who have passed
- the vulnerable, more at risk
- the hospital workers
- the people making new hospital equipment
- the parents who are caring for their children home from school
- our leaders, national and local, the President and the Governor, and the National Guard
- our free press, as we work to bring the latest news
- those who are out of work due to business closings
- Churches as a whole, for a spirit of encouragement
- our Amish brothers and sisters, who, as we know, are independent of the regular community and government.
Prayer makes the difference. God is utilizing his angelic beings in the unseen realm on our behalf.
Today's episode again will air as originally written and recorded about a month ago. I think it is definitely appropriate considering the time.
- Daniel Litton ***

*** Special note: Hello everyone,
In light of recent events with the Corona Virus, I have reviewed this sermon and decided to let it air as originally written. This message was written over a month ago and recorded not long after that. I think both of its main areas of focus are particularly timely. Of course, God knew what was going to happen and planned ahead accordingly.
Remember to pray, pray, and pray. Continue to pray for our leaders, national and local, hospital workers, parents as they take care of their children off of school, and especially for those who are sick or are at higher risk. I believe the response of the President as well as the Governor has been above and beyond. Remember, God will never leave us.
