Let’s bow down our heads. In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit. Lord, thank you for the meal that we are about to eat.

She did not stop until I said yes. “We will go shopping tomorrow, you want to come?” Monique asked.“I have work tomorrow. Sorry.” I answered, remembering Jessy’s schedule. “Aww. But that’s okay.
