The Lord of the Rings

I had always loved to read but had no use for fiction… Continue reading The Lord of the Rings

Sodomite Revenge
The wicked shaming of Karen Pence for teaching art part-time at a Christian school that adheres to biblically rooted views of marriage arises directly from the Supreme Court's equally wicked decision to legalize same-sex marriage in Obergefell vs. Hodges.
