Great quotes Robert. The power company (Entergy) here in my part of Texas sucks my friend. It's still out and it has been out since 8 AM this morning. They're whole power grid needs to be updated. You sneeze here in my part of Texas and the power goes out. I now own stock (lol) in CenterPoint (the gas company) with my generator running for over 6 hours now.... Big gas bill coming! Have a great day my friend.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. We all seek answers to something everyday. When it comes to a time when you just can’t find an answer to your question, maybe a reading of your Bible will surprise you with answers. Be very prudent in what you ask for, because you just may receive an unexpected answer. Have a blessed day today and always.
