Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I am eternally grateful that our Creator God has given us His Grace, by offering up His only Son, Jesus Christ, who took upon Himself the sins of mankind to the grave, where He overcame death and the grave and once again became alive, so that we may reign with Him in Glory, forevermore. Have a blessed day today and always.
