“EPISODE 75 “Music, Dance, & Praise”   We want to express our deepest sympathy and prayers to the innocent people in Syria who lost loved ones in the horrific gas weapon attack on its people of that country. There is NEVER a justified reason on this entire planet for killing innocent people, in particular….children. Nor does it make any sense to bomb another country in retaliation to a travesty, killing even more innocent civilians in an effort to “get a few bad people”. Know that the creator is bigger than any issue, any problem, and ANY president. Our hearts are with those who were lost.
