Stand firm, be courageous

Join Ginger, be courageous! It's not easy.  I'm an imperfect, perfectionist writing because I love it, sharing my life because God has been so good to me, and joining others because they have blessed me. There are those who will disagree with my conviction that "religion" doesn't matter.  If you'
