Of course, whatever you say is writ ;)

Really?!? Oh wow, I think I'm so far beyond damned that I have no choice...

Of course, repentance is the way of salvation...tell me, has his Son left any
messages, I'm still waiting for a particular reply...

Oh my, can you give me your address and is their housing available in your

Do I need to chastise myself for this as well, I have a straying mind and will
often need much help in keeping my thoughts (ouch!!! whipcrack!!! Yes
Lord...more, More Lord) in line...

But as they are works of the devil, did you have to use Holy Oil. I have had
trouble getting my Harlequin's book to burn too (that is the Devil on the
front right?).

And since it is a reflection of reality, it is it's own opposite...and that's
an entirely different tale...

Just give me the web site or send me a copy via email...my soon to be new

But did he tell us the ultimate fate of Kenny?!?!?!?!?!? That -IS- what
really counts...

blast!!!)
