Xanax Online Overnight Delivery OK, I know you are waiting for me to say it. There is no place in the Scriptures that gives any direct mention of the invocation of the saints for intercessory prayer. There, I said it. I got it off my chest! 😯 So, why do I believe in the invocation of the saints? Let […]
