wishing...for the swift return of Christ, to heal this sick, dying, hurting world.

Jennifer: one of Chicago's Finest....a success story, a talent unparalleled, and a person whose beautiful spirit shines through her smile.

She and her family didn't deserve this horror...no one deserves this.

This world is getting worse and worse, by the hour and by the day.

Lord, have mercy on us all.
