Praise: From Walt Becker. “I am doing well. I am home and at about 80%. -- Walking, talking and praising

God after 30 days in the hospital! I was hit with COVID, a serious infection in my blood and pneumonia all at the same time. As I told the doctors, God's grace is greater than all our infirmities; HE alone decides when we go home to heaven. God answered the prayers of the His prayer warriors like you! Thank all for their continued prayers.”
