TECHNOLOGY CAN SAVE TOO! WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO REWIND DISASTERS? I HAD A DREAM ABOUT TORNADOS ABOUT A MONTH AGO. BELIEVE ME, I AM STILL LISTENING TO THAT TORNADO DREAM, FROM ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO! I JUST WISH I COULD BE IN A TECHNOLOGY JOB, WHERE I COULD HELP MAKE TECHNOLOGY, THAT ACTUALLY REWINDS ALL DISASTERS. I AM MID WESTERN, SO YES, TORNADOS SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME TOO PEOPLE! EVEN HERE IN TEXAS, WHERE I HAVE LIVED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES NOW.

That house didn’t have enough crosses in it! Jesus only saves you if you have 100 crosses and a TV shaped like a cross. Silly Christians, the Bible’s for Kids!!
