That was fun to read.

I thought you had been a Christian a long time! I was saved when I was 19, so it has been 7, almost 8 years for me. I'm sorry you feel like you're in a rut. I have been there. ((Gina))

Sometimes I listen to O'Reilly in the car. I like that he tries to be fair and independent. Shawn Hannity disgusts me. Ever watched him? If someone starts to make a point he talks over them. He will play sound bites of his political enemies and say they said one thing when they clearly did not just say that.

When we were younger, they would sometimes tease Christi by calling her Crusty Cox.

Julia, did you have to mention that! While we're at it, though, my middle name was always Sucks.

Hmmm, didn't know a lot of that stuff...knew some of it...suspected some, too. If by "in Carolina" you mean the gym, then you may be right. If you mean people in general in the state, then not so much. It reminds me way too much of the Citadel, and that place holds bad memories for me.

Oh, do you want to go to Old MacDonald's tomorrow? TJ wants to, and he really, really wants to see Blake and Julia.
