What a great example. I have, a few times, offered a personal prayer with only giving thanks and not asking for anything. It is a rather unique experience. Thanks for pointing out this important part of our daily lives.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816549810869986623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-63642584340019741462011-06-01T09:13:38.243-05:002011-06-01T09:13:38.243-05:00Thanks Jeff and others who commented this just mad...Thanks Jeff and others who commented this just made my day...zerabpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-7049590060660466822011-05-30T11:53:04.507-05:002011-05-30T11:53:04.507-05:00I loved that talk!
