We hope everyone had a great holiday.  We would like to take a moment to say that it is important to remember others even after the holiday season.  We ask for everyone to pray for those that are going through tough times.  Also, please pray for those in Haiti.  If you would like to donate please contact your local Red Cross.  Watch out for the scams that are saying they will donate your money!  The best way is to contact the Red Cross and find out how you can help.


God Bless,  MTatHome
