Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I would like to contribute some things of a biblical perspective. God has given each of us all that we possess. How we use and manage these gifts is how we greatly contribute to each other and to those in great need. Please consider that we have, as a Christian Nation, fallen short and turned over the responsibility that is ours to share, to a government that really does not care. Have a blessed day today and always.

Leaders understand that in some situations there are those who may not be able to contribute. But they also understand that there is a time and a place where everyone can contribute to the mission at hand..
