About Me

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANOTHER LIKE HIM, AND THERE NEVER WILL BE AGAIN. FLY FREE BARBARO!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Jesus Christ~ "First, decide that you're going to maintain an open mind. Sometimes we say we're going to explore something when we know that we are not really open to what we might find. Having an open mind doesn't mean blind acceptance of whatever you explore - you need to evaluate differing views, have some healthy skepticism, and check out the facts. Most seekers would say they are after spiritual truth. They want answers to life's ultimate questions. Your search is the most important search in the world. In truth, there's no such thing as a "spiritual life" - there's just "life," and your own spirituality courses through its every vein. Thus, finding the door to spiritual truth, opening it, and walking through it make up the most significant journey you can ever undertake, for on the other side is not simply spiritual life, but life itself."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~Please CONTINUE to go to https://community.hsus.org/campaign/FED_2007_horseslaughter_ notcosponsor and there is an already written letter for you to send to Congress, just fill in your own info and click SEND!!Please!

Words cannot say what he has done for so many, in his own suffering, the example in courage and smarts he has shown us all, and most of all how he brought us together for the greater good of many issues and deeds..he taught many to pray and believe again, he showed us a miracle, many times over, which still continues. He inspires me every day. He was Godsent, to show us a thing or two, that humans couldn't. --My Dear Friend Nancy~ such an angel and yet so tough, a true Warrior Princess for the horses yet overflowing with love. The only one I can really count on to be there. You are my shining jewel and a better friend could not be asked for. Love You Nancy!!!! -- My son Dustin ~ a finer character would be hard to find.

Joe is like Superman to me! -- Mr & Mrs Jackson. Michael Matz. Dr. Dean Richardson. Alex Brown!! Cheers, Alex! -- My dad, Bill and mom, Iris, they are just the coolest, and silliest, and most fun parents ever. I am so glad they were my example of how to be a parent.

My big sisters always look out for me. -- Mark Lunsford, taking on the whole country for 'Jessica's Law' ~ Steve & Shasta Groene. Unfathomable courage. If you know who they are, you know why - if you don't - Google 'em. The families of all of the missing and/or murdered children and women.
