I liked the article about immigration, what I've been saying for years. I'd like to copy and paste it to my blog. I am disappointed in Franklin Graham, and while I still support the Christmas Child project every year, I do so less enthusiastically than before last year's campaign.
I did not know that about chocolate; it makes me sad. I'll be careful what brands of chocolate I buy now.
I always enjoyed clowns when I was a child, at the circus and on TV. They were my favorite acts, but I was never up close and personal with them.
I agree with you about Franklin Graham and Operation Christmas Child. But I guess we are all disappointing to someone.
I've never been scared of clowns.
I had no idea about chocolate, either.
Thanks for your comments.
