Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "I kept making the same mistakes on God's Tests because I couldn't hear, read or spell well and I didn't care to improve. So I took hearing and speed reading classes in college and stepped up my "A" Game to move out of the Devil's Ghetto! ~ Jon Barnes The Devil's Ghetto The Devil's Ghetto is located anywhere in the world where people are doing the works of the Devil, spreading the message of hate, lust, confusion, greed, fake power, and self righteousness of pride. This evil takes advantage of the poor, enslaving children of poverty, and capitalizing on muscles of mayhem-- dictating non-biblical principles and lifestyle creates confusion, war, greed, and impasse.…
