I absolutely love writing for http://www.GotQuestions.org. When COVID-19 broke out I didn’t have an outlet to share the gospel on the street. I was getting stale and stir-crazy to say the least.

If you were to ask those who went to the event to describe it in one word, I guarantee the answer would be, "cold." Brutally cold if... Continue Reading →
The last Saturday of the fair. I was so happy when I had finally gotten through it without physical injury unlike last year blowing out my knee.
