But your creative writing talent was given to you by God and you&#39;re using it very well, I might add!

I think one of the main problems in society today is the lack of commitment. I have been married for 31 years because I am committed to our marriage.

I&#39;ve seen that youtube video several times and it always makes me cry (must be that wedding thing.) I think I read somewhere that the wedding couple on the video set up some type of charity funding for victims of abuse after their video went viral on youtube because of the whole Chris Brown thing.Magshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341721285034778331noreply@blogger.com
