  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    There were some people sitting near the fire the other night and they began to talk about a man that was dead with the last 40 years. The man that spoke about him did not pray for him. Someone asked him why he did not pray for him and he made an answer that he is dead So long now, he must have his home made where-ever he is.
