6. None of my friends wash.
7. I’ll start washing when I get older and dirtier.
8. I can’t spare the time.
9. The bathroom is never warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer.

TO ALL OF YOU IN AUTHORITY:
It’s time for you to wake up out of your fear and stop allowing yourself to be intimidated. Your cowardice has rendered you unfit to lead.
To the rest of us, it’s time to join the groundswell of hope, freedom and logic and stop stupidity from being imposed upon you, your family, your job and our nation.
It’s time for you take back your God given life – remember that? Your life belongs to God and no one else has that authority over you.
We are in the Last Days. Evil is loose and we must stand against it on all fronts! By doing so you will be letting your light shine before the men of this world, just as Jesus commanded. Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Our God, the God of miracles!
Big change from yesterday…
