It's a F'ed up world we're living in now. I just pray we all eventually come together. |

I agree though, messed up world and hopefully people wake up and realize God is trying to get our attention.

If Keap was so serious about this cause then why won't he put his money where his mouth is: quit playing, quit getting paid millions and actually get out there and do something. Until he does that stand up and stfu
