Roads paved in Blackberry community
Look at what God is doing in the Blackberry community. We finally got our roads paved. We have paved roads and eventually the whole community will be paved. Thanks to Harry Walker and Pct. 2 administration (Bobbie and Patty) for working with me on the grant.
I hope everyone has a nice, enjoyable spring break. Safe travels to everyone.
