Do you know a lot of Christians feel like
If they give their once once a week to the Lord, they're doing real well, especially if they go every week
It's kind of like visiting a friend in jail, you know, like once a week on Sundays, you know visiting hours
Hi, Lord.
How are you doing Lord?
Are they treating you?
Okay in here is the food.
All right, Lord
We're working on getting you out
