Would a friend really tell you to go and disrespect your parent? I think not. But I really thought those kind of people were my friends. That’s how the devil works. He gives false impressions even using other people to do it.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Know for sure it is easy to get into trouble, but over a million of us can tell young people it is very hard to get out of.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p></o:p>Peace</span></p>Virginia Simmonsnoreply@blogger.com
