Words from Benjamine Spencer
I recently had the opportunity to correspond with Ben, and I just thought I’d post his most recent comments so everyone can see how he’s doing and what’s going on with him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season. There are plenty of ways to get involved and add your...
What Not To Wear…
No sleeveless tops are allowed. The officers let that rule slide long enough that most people, myself included, didn’t know it was a rule. They also get quite agitated if anyone questions it.
