This is a heartfelt and heart-wrenching view of grief at the holidays that I think many could find encouragement and even the beginnings of healing from.
Let us pray for all grieving at this time (whenever you read this or it comes to mind!)

Hi, all!
If you should see this this fine August 19, 2023, I ask for prayer.
My church was given the opportunity to have an apologetics booth at Hope Fest! There are other churches present, but we may be the one focused most on apologetics.
Please pray for:
This opportunity happened all in this past week (apparently the deadline to get a booth was a few weeks ago!) As the church elder with the most training and experience, naturally I was asked if it could happen. I have a team of at least 4 coming out with me!
Thanks in advance (and if this is seen later, that these encounters continue to bear fruit!)
Many blessings in Christ,
Daniel
