oh man, yes. good quote - i’m glad you found it and posted it. (p.s. i always remember their secret sister language of the “elemenopee” or whatever, remember that?)
God is GOOD.
That’s all I have to say about that.
This article is pretty funny. I love making lighthearted fun of our strange, Christian culture.
