Psalm 119:50: My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.

We are applauding the Obama Administration's bold move yesterday towards fair, just and compassionate immigration reform! Besides the fact that this will protect so many who have called America home for many years, whose families are here, etc., but it just makes sense.
