starstarstarstarstar 		Put God First
by: Claudette

Irrespective of individual & personal opinions, wants & desires, Jamaica remains a Praying Country.

And The TRUE & Living God is still in control. God does care about His People & will put in place the one whom He sees fit to lead Jamaica during this Season.

Once we put God first, all else will be added. Put Him first, and bottom line, when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will not matter that much to you who is in power.

It will be one or the other, and your life will go on. You will continue to go to work & will continue to pay bills.

Most importantly, accept Christ as your Lord & Savior. And don't forget to Love God with all your heart, soul, and might & (to LIVE IT) & to teach it to the children; that they may do the same & will pass it down through the generations!!

My prayers for Jamaica
Shalom

Good morning,

Hello world! hello Jamaica. Well coming into Kingston for work from Portmore it was a smooth sailing. The place was like a ghost town. Heard of gun shots firing in Spanish Town but here in Papine is quiet right now. Thank you
