My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Karen Pimpo …  USE THIS LINK        … told of her family discovering the 10-feet long, typed prayer list of the ODB author’s grandmother,  with hundreds of names of family, friends, and even luminaries for whom she prayed daily.  The list became a family heirloom and evidence of the faithful prayer of their grandmother to God every day.
