| Posted 7 months ago Rest in Peace, Brother! May God bless you and your daughter! Watch over her as you and the Father who watches over all of us! “The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.” |
