Problem is that even God has been dragged into the whole media hype. Very disturbing, if you ask me.Ms Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257252986498155541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777909433683201681.post-19445465000220416982011-05-23T14:47:11.696+02:002011-05-23T14:47:11.696+02:00Allie..
