Keep Tina Clark in your thoughts and prayers as her mother has been in the hospital with heart complications.
Be sure to read the Sunday Message as a lot is happening this week and the upcoming weeks that you should be aware of. Consider stopping by The OM Spirit Night at Zaxby's tomorrow night to save you having to cook and to support our students heading to Michigan for the World competition.
