ok, I love barbeque. I love it. Can never have too much barbeque if it's done right.

Tonight I spent some time in a Church in Lakeland Florida meeting one of my new favorite authors. He wrote a short book called “A Knights Quest” which has messages in it that are timely and forever. That’s not what I’m writing about though. I spent time in their bible study and this changed my outlook on things. This study tonight was the 2nd...

I don't know which aspect of this news stroy scares me more; the militant separatist mentality, or the religious aspect that they seem intent on ramming down our throat.
I realize and recognize the right to free speech. I respect the right to assemble for religious or political reasons. I accept the fact that there are views other than my...
