Postlude
Reverend Bret L. McAtee is the husband of a wife without peer, father of three children who walk as heroes in the land, and grandfather of fourteen. He is the author of Iron Ink which is committed to thinking God’s thoughts after Him.
Thank you Pastor Bret L. McAtee for giving me a measure of hope for my young friend, Miguel, who is currently wallowing in the pigpen of life. Pray with me that his time there comes to a screeching halt sometime soon.
