“There’s a storm out on the ocean and its moving this away. If your soul is not anchored in Jesus you will surely drift away, you’ll drift away. This is a passage we found in Mama’s personal items. She had written it in some of her many notes. Let’s keep this message with us on her behalf. She always said every single day, the Lord had been good to her. Mama Dorothy lived a very full life and we loved her dearly.
