TRIBUTE TO A SPECIAL FRIEND, A LONG-RUNNING BLOGGER

UTAH, YOU ARE A WOMAN!

I THREW AWAY MY PLASTIC AND I THREW AWAY MY SIN!

I never would have expected to find salvarion at McDonalds, but I did. My brother's friend, Gary, wrote a song decades ago that we always laugh about, entitled "I Found Jesus at McDonalds".
