It may come and go like Y2K did when people become aware of how impractical it is to relocate a full-quiver to an area short on jobs. A 16-year-old boy is being held..

So really her story follows along these lines rather than what ol queen bee Stacy McDonald wants to jam it into: Luke 12:2 In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.
