King Of The Hill (Fiction Friday)

Musings of an Insomniac
I am not a religious person. I've probably been in three churches in my life, and two of those were for weddings. Do I believe in God? I don't know, it's too hard to get a handle on the whole thing. By thing, I'm talking about the Bible. It just cannot… Read full post »
