Opinion: Why I Will No Longer Support Girl Scouts

Though I hate the desert, may I wait for Him there.  Whether He speaks or not, I will pray.  If I feel nothing at all, I will praise Him.
Religion without the supernatural isn´t a religion, it´s a set of table manners.

Today, patron saints are often chosen because an interest, talent, or event in their lives overlaps with a special area.
