New Guy

Postby Gravelyguy » Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:42 pm

Hi Everyone,

New Guy here. I have been a lurker since last winter as I was researching what I was going through. I can’t tell you all how helpful you all have been.

I continue to check in as it has given me lots of people to pray for. I decided I might as well join in the odd chance that I can help someone out in the future.
