Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3
On Friday, Junes 23, 2017, God called His angel, Evangelist Doris Garrett Boyd from 7165 Leneave Lane, Waverly, VA, and said it's time to leave your earthly home and come go with me to a better place, no more aches and pains, nothing but sunshine and joy daily.
