    kakamegamama replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    OP---great question! I would pray for a student (and I have/do) in my heart, and if asked to , out loud. I think OldDude's response was one of the best. Also, "praying without ceasing" is a way of...

    kakamegamama replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    kakamegamama replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges
