No More Pajamas and Lent Ronda Bowen, March 5, 2014 I’m going to start off by saying I’m not particularly devout. I’m a Methodist, and, well to be honest, the whole organized religion thing has always been a struggle for me – I didn’t start going to church until 2011. In fact, the first time I went to my church,… Continue Reading
