God created these lakes to use for drinking water and to enjoy. He created the fish for food and for pleasure. It is true that God answers prayers. He sent us the rains so that we can continue all that He has created. Continue to pray. Inappropriate? Alert Us!Add a commentMost PopularMore Good Stuff |
