Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have met a few Champions in my life. The most influential champion for me is Jesus Christ. He was able to do for all of us, that nobody else could. Jesus has won the battle against sin, death and the devil. I know that I could not have done that, how about you? I found the below link of grant interest and hoe that y’all do as well, as you have a blessed day today and always.
