Don't do anything horrible, I mean, if you didn't get off a pole to come to church this morning, you can pass for a mother in Zion and the truth of the matter, no one will know that you can be okay when it comes to sins. visible.

I told him you should go. I feel like you should go. I saw him suffer so much. I thought you should leave it. He was so lonely that he got a dog and called him friend. Oh no no, I'm not being funny, I'm serious, so you don't know what people go through behind the scenes trying to cope with life. and I saw him take so many hits to his heart because of his masculinity and his character that it was so hard to watch.
