Day 45
Happy Valentine’s Day. Another made up holiday designed to do a couple of things. Separate humans from their money. Put unnecessary pressure on couples to be romantic.

Christmas is about love
Isaiah 9:6For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. I don’t care if the Church (big C) created the Christmas holiday to over shadow the pagan rituals that people where fond of.…

Where Are you From?
I am from everywhere and no where. I spent a quarter of my life in Texas, a quarter of my life in England and half of my life in Florida. I also consider myself fairly well traveled. When someone asks me where I am from mostly I say Florida since it feels most like home.…
