I’m not sure what is happening to me of late but I have had this warmth in my heart toward Christians of late.
That has not always been the case.
For those of you who know my story you know I have plenty to be upset with concerning “Christians”. Hell, I had much to be upset with [...]

Finished all the college application, aid, loan, garbage this afternoon. So, in the next couple days I should know more about whether or not I’ll be going. The criteria?
If I have to pay for it, no.
If I don’t, whoopie, I’m in!
Guess which you should be praying for?

I had my stiches out on Monday. The same day I had my evaluation at work. I wonder if the two go together; they were both certainly a pain in the ass!
