Bride Time LIVE w/Dr. June Knight & Ruth Mizell "Abrahamic Blessings to America"

I went to visit Ruth in the hospital. She is 97 years old! I heard about her when I moved to Washington DC about ten (10) months ago. In these parts she is very well-respected and loved. I prayed and asked the Lord to please let me interview her before she passed away. The Lord granted that prayer on Friday.

Bush for two of his campaigns, beginning in 1964 for the US Senate and later as Campaign Chair for Corpus Christi, Texas, when he ran for president in 1980.
