God has brought me back to the islands of Antigua and Barbuda where my parents were murdered and I have been sharing the message of forgiveness on a much greater scale

Do you have a full plate? So much so you need a side plate and salad bowl to contain it all? Consider this: Martin Luther once declared, “I have so much to do today that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”
