As a Mississippian/reader of your blog, glad you enjoyed yourself here. Like most Californians, you may have been surprised that we wore shoes and had indoor plumbing.
And the media coverage of a Christian event happens pretty regularly, but continue to pray for the youth of this state – Moral diesm is alive and well.
