Something funny and corny as can be....from my church, HTC
So, there is this link that was posted on Facebook by a fellow member of my church. I am a nonbeliever, as you might guess, but I support my wife's decision to believe. Also, I have learned you just can't fix believers' belief systems with logic. But, if you want a good laugh, here's the link to a really funny dance celebration of jesus....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KX2-J6uS-o&feature=share

If anything,…"
