Though our hearts remain heavy as we continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti as well as the Pendergrass family, time marches on and the world keeps turning. That’s how life is. The best we can do is to continue to be grateful for each hour of every, new day. Oh, and whether you choose clintonbushhaitifund.org, redcross.org or yele.org, please donate as much as you can toward the relief effort. We must keep the support rolling in.
Now, let’s all take a deep breath and turn the page to this week…
