Ok, not really, in fact as I type he is walking around looking for his next target of destruction…what can I say? I love a good bad boy and my dog is no exception. Going back to the title of this post, what I mean is that I’ve officially lost my dog’s worth of weight …
Sleeving is believing…
When it comes to believing in God, to a certain extent it requires believing in yourself. You have to believe that He loves you enough to have a plan for you, and in the talents and blessings He bestows on you so that you will be willing to use them in order to carry out …
