Or no one who would let go of their inhibitions and talk openly about God in their lives to the point I'd know they were real in the Lord. These pages are me, real...

Therefore, we moved a lot, only spending no more than two years in each location. Thus, I grew up pretty much alone: homeschooled, no friends, no pets, no real home. The only constant in my life was my mother. As for my father, he died when I was very young and I didn't have a chance to know him. Besides, my mother believed...
