Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-plugin-bluehost
domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init
action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/susangib/public_html/blog3/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114

When he came home he pulled seventeen slivers out of his fingers, making a wish on each one.<\/p>\n
His mother had instilled in him a strong bond with Jesus and it held him tight through his teens. He discovered that God didn\u2019t listen to those who drove to church exceeding the speed limit, or those who imbibed in a whole lot of beer.<\/p>\n
