Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
Knowledge carefully recorded is knowledge available in time of need. Spiritually sensitive information should be kept in a sacred place that communicates to the Lord how you treasure it. This practice enhances the likelihood of receiving further light.
Richard G. Scott
If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see.
Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
