Blessings to ALL,

I'm sharing an email I received from Pastor Jim Montoya of Los Lunas, NM, regarding his perspective on what God is doing, has done and desires to do here in our state, across America and around the world, so I trust you'll prayerfully consider what's written here and how God would have you respond.
