I am a 45 yr old Associate Pastor. I am white when I first get out of the shower, but that doesn't last long. I have a debilitating disease, but I love to DO stuff. I am outside as much as possible. I love freely, defend friends, and hope for a better tomorrow while working for a brighter today. I believe in fairy tales. I love God's Creations.

Romans 8:28 -" For we know that ALL things work together for good for them that love God and are called according to His purpose." So, What part of ALL don't we understand!?!
