I asked God’s forgiveness for myself and others who either don’t … [Read more...] about It’s Your Fault I’m No Longer A Christian!

If your family likes chicken soup and you are tired of the canned watery variety that has perhaps six tiny pieces of chicken, give Costco chicken soup a try. It has carrots,  celery, and plenty of chunks of chicken and it's tasty. Also, their chicken pot pie is sold seasonally. My only complaint is that it contains too much chicken and there isn't enough sauce or gravy. It's … [Read more...] about Stuff I Use And Like

Back and forth I went about how to address this topic because I knew it might pour salt into some wounds, as it has with my own.
