I'm writin' 2 show you what we fightin' 4"-

Hillbilly Fortune Cookie Winner:
"Cuz a wife is just a sister that you hug" - L O L .

More powerful than a gun, more detramental than a million bombs, is Knowledge. Because Knowledge promotes PERMANENT change. - ME

Contentment comes from the awareness of Allah & conscious caring - ME
