Here is how it (basically) happened.....

Around about 11:50 on 12/23 (the end of my daughter's 19th bday), my daughter was sitting on my bed and noticed smoke coming up from the floors. She screamed, I ran into my son's room to get him.

Mississippi's Come-Back Sauce

By Oldschoozchef

Mississippi loves trees so much, we have the largest collection of tree farms in the USA. Life of all kinds is… Continue

Now from ages 2-12 Jesus and his family traveled to Jerusalem for this great celebration and feast. Then at the age of 12, (the year that Jewish boys have their coming of age bar… Continue

Sister I Need You

Sister I need you!

Why do you turn your head and snicker when there’s tissue on my heel?

If it was you I would say:, “hey tissue on shoe”.

Why is it when you see me you see competition?

When I see you I see a friend, a team mate and a sister.

Why is it when I extend my hand, you take two steps back?

If you extend me yours I would embrace it, with all the love in my heart

Sister why can’t we be colored blind and not just stick to our own kind?

I love you… Continue

True Love?

Is it true love when someone passes you and all you think of is them? Will it end quickly if you happy all the time when you are with this person. there not a thing this person does that makes you mad. is it true that happyness doesn't last? is it true that too much happiness can doom a relationshop before it even starts? I'm soooo confused I don't know what to do anymore.
