Let’s Keep It: Confession

This is too good not to share. The words are below: What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion What if I told you voting republican really wasn’t his mission What if I told you republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian And just because you call some people blind Doesn’t automatically give you vision … Continue reading →

I’m trying to import my xanga posts but you basically have to have invented the internet to know how to do it, so don’t hold your breath.) I’ve always had weird these weird (let’s call them) quirks.
