Double Portion Inspiration

It's my weekend to blog and I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about.  With the verdict announcement yesterday and the feeling that more could have been done for Jordan Davis to receive justice, I wondered if I would repost Roslyn's post," I am Raising Americas Most Hated. "  I chose differently and instead decided to ask a question................. When was the last time you prayed for the President ?
