> 3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. 
> Pray

> These

> your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to
> pray for yourself more effectively.

> If you decide to send this to a friend, you might brighten someone's day!
> Pass this on to someone special.. I did.
