She also invited us to come back in two weeks on Wednesday, April 1 to speak at the House Committee Meeting. At this meeting they will vote to add the additional language and prayerful Title the Bill. We are asking for prayers for this meeting if it gets past on the 1st it will then go back to the Senate for a final vote then on to the Governor to be signed into a Law. After the visit today we left the Capital with high expectations for SB539 to become a Law! We know that God has purposed our every step and given us every word to speak! Thank you for your prayers! Blessings, Veronica and Kasey

Pray for healing in both; and for Gordon's flight there to be a safe one. Our son's (Big Mike and Michael B.) are there with them; and also need some rest. Please Pray that God's wisdom touches the hearts and minds of our family as we must make some important decisions effecting their health, safety and happiness in and for the future.
