  5. Trump is the actual WORST. If he wins, I'm running away.

    I'm bummed about the weather here, too. It's been muggy the past couple of days and looks like it will be for a bit still. Booooooo! :/

  6. Sweet friend, You have had a busy August. Joyful things and some sorrow, so sorry for your sorrow. Our Pastor stepped down about three months ago, it was very hard. As expected when this happened some have left the church. I just kept trusting God's sovereignty, praying for the rest of the church staff etc.. We remain in touch with our Pastor that left, and encourage our interim pastor who stepped up until the elders decide on a new one. God has this. Yes folks, even churches have issues, if we were perfect we wouldn't need Jesus!
    Any way, hugs my friend, I know its difficult.... Love that your a beach body coach, how about you!!! Hugs!
