I’d never heard it put that way…comparing conceitedness to a complete deli sandwich meal that came with “all that and a bag of chips”. Good one. Do you know anyone … Read the rest…
I’m sending this with brotherly love When I talk to you about where you’ll spend eternity, you can either respond with acceptance or rejection. There’s no middle ground.
