In all reality I have to kick things ( Read more... )

So today was the calm after the roller coaster. Father Rector likes to use that term when we are working hard here. It really had been a roller coaster and finally I got off. The ending was probably the best experience I have had so far because it ended with my dad coming down here to help me fix my car. The lord is good. I am doing kinda well ( Read more... )
