But, father, i come to you in the merit of the lord and savior, jesus christ, who washed me from my sins in his shed blood.

Last couple of days has been losing some of its teeth and the impact on the coastal areas will be often minimal side. As we take a look at the storm system right now you can see the center of it started to make that cutback toward the coast, but the storm is not expected to intensify as it was in the model indications as late as yesterday.

His family left within the last five minutes or so. Again, lots and lots of excitement out here. Marco rubio taking third here in the state of iowa. Doing better than even he expected. This is always all day, i want to take you to the democratic caucus, we ve been telling you how these things work, people getting in each other s face, really sort of explaining to each other why they should go for one candidate or the other. The caucus we were at in clive, there were not home alley supporters, so the standers sanders and clinton supporters and try to pull the samaritans to their side. After public and caucus, a huge amount of people, probably a thousand over in clive. Marco rubio actually talk to the crowd there, but of course, the main thing that he had to say was when he took the podium here after taking third in the state of iowa and thanking everyone who supported him. Ways forward for us now, we can either be greater than we have ever been, or we can be a great nation and decline.
