So today is my B-day. It is always interesting when my B-day falls on a Friday because I am always asked about being named Jason and being born on Friday the 13th. I had a toy chainsaw I would whip out years ago but I wound up losing it in a move. Anywho… I wound [...]

In It to Win It.
Posted: February 11, 2009 by passionburnswithin in Ministry, Philosophy, Reading, Religion, UncategorizedI am going to be honest. My work situation isn’t the ideal one.
