Trying to suppress her trembling as Macy grumbled her way out of the car, Candace let her gaze crawl over the ultra-modern exterior of Dermamania. “Now, are you coming, or are you going to sit out here and pout?” I swear, sometimes I think you’re on Daddy’s payroll.” Wrenching her arm from her friend’s grasp, she got out and bent down to peer at Macy’s stricken face. “I won’t! And it’s not as if I’m going to run off and join a biker gang because of one patch of ink on my skin. “Where do you plan on getting it? Don’t tattoo your butt, Candace.” Macy grabbed her arm before Candace could make a move to exit her car into the mild, late April evening air. ![]() “Yeah, celebrate, not take complete leave of your senses. “You’re the one who said I need to celebrate.” Macy’s anxiety always seemed to give her a firmer sense of control.

At times, they find themselves on the losing side of votes when they’re convinced of the moral justification of their position. The people who represent us come from our communities, and they are every bit as human. In America, our legislative bodies are the mechanisms by which we attempt to solve our disagreements without violence or bloodshed. The speaker quickly gaveled in a recess as the trio continued. They were aware they were breaking the rules of the House. In a heated moment during a recent protest, Tennessee Representatives Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson commandeered the House floor in the Tennessee Legislature. Our political venom doesn’t honor God, and it doesn’t advance our society either. Recent events at the Tennessee legislature are the antithesis of that biblical admonition. ![]() My father continues to remind me of those words from the Bible when he senses my temper rising. “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:19-20) Gloria Johnson: Race cost my colleagues their positions ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Susan stoker finding monica![]() Title: Finding Monica Series: SEAL Team Hawaii #4 Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense Author: Susan Stoker Release Date: May 10, 2022įinding Elodie (SEAL Team Hawaii #1) Amazon US And when he decided to use Monica as a pawn for his revenge, she’d have to trust Stuart if she wanted to live to see another day. ![]() No one was prepared for the man who the entire Navy was searching for to have ties to the SEALs.

There’s no point to anything in the plot. ![]() (I could go on for another couple miles of blog post but I have other stuff to complain about) One moment the kids are calm the next they’re yelling angerly. The character’s ( highly explained) emotions jumped around like Kangaroos on coffee. Stine, please stop verbally explaining how the characters felt and instead subtly present their emotions. ![]() ![]() Q: How many “ly”s does it take to write a Goosebumps book?Įvery page had at least two if not eight adverbs.ĭear R.L.
