Everyone knows everybody in a small town which has a few benefits. It means you can have a tab at the local convenience store and pay when you receive your paycheck and on any given day‚ you can walk down into the post

Growing up in the church starting at a very young age was most definitely a blessing but also a curse. I always loved going to bible class when I was in preschool and elementary school but during the beginning of middle school‚ I had a change of heart.
