Ummm. Can I get a witness? 15.7 year old who has a permit. Just changed from Christian School most of her life to Public High School 10th grade. I had two of my outpost challengers drop by for a visit and it wasn't to see me....(After all those backpack outings and campouts..you would think...grin)
I wished we had girls in RR. I have a dandy picked out for her..but she ain't interested. I keep selling his good points to her but she has differing points. One real positive note here. She want's to be a Youth Pastor. She is Rock Solid in her beliefs and will line you out first hand. Also has a lot of stuff on her walls indicating stuff a DAD LIKES to see. I don't really care for the guys dropping by to say hi. My monia lisa is not for viewing. THANK YOU! GRIN! (She and I don't agree on this issue. So I guess I had better sit back and be quiet and keep a big stick in a safe place...ha!) No worries really. It does take some concerning thought. Mark Jones p.s. I put my old website up it has my conversion from Jehovah's Witness and my Alter call on it. Plus a compass course and some other stuff. I setup a mini http site from my computers hard rive. So far it works very well. If any of you have a static IP address and want to do the same thing it is very easy to do and you won't be limited to a 5 meg website. Best is it is free just like the Ranger Database. Holler if I can help.
