Blessed2008 October 1 by Daddy
Nearly 18 years ago, the Lord blessed me in an incredible way, though I didn’t fully realize it at the time. Fourteen years ago, that blessing agreed to stay by my side for the rest of our days. As she mentioned, on that day, I married my best friend. And in more ways than I [...]

Welcome From Employee Number One2005 July 1 by Daddy
