If you know anything about The Lord of the Rings then you know who Frodo Baggins is, and if not, here's a quick synopsis: The plot of these movies is based on J.R.R.

Cowboy Gospel?
As Andrew was drifting off to asleep one restful Sunday afternoon, he says to me, “I’m having some strange thoughts.” Me: “This is normal.” (Haha) Andrew: “You said to me, 'You have to call me Janet’ and I said, 'Why do I have to call you Janet?’ You said, 'Because it's my birth name’ and … Continue reading Cowboy Gospel?
She Ain’t Pushy, She’s My Sister
[I thank my God…] I met Ronda on a Christian networking website called Xianz.

Shout Outs: Outdo one Another in Showing Honor
[Be devoted to each other like a loving family] I met Brother B on a Christian networking site called “Shout Life." I’m not exactly sure how long we’ve been corresponding, but it's been a good many years now. Some of our best conversations have been our theological discussions. He's also trusted me with so much about … Continue reading Shout Outs: Outdo one Another in Showing Honor
