Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need.
Melinda L. from Ridgway, PA said:

Not very profound I know but kinda cool! 2) Just a nice reminder that we should do everything we can to accomodate people- to see that they have everything that they need- like God does for us.
