well, I have to say these three were the good kind of crowd.\u00c2\u00a0 We all have so many beautiful things in common, the main one being an earnest desire to walk with God.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, God has blessed each of us with a wonderful marriage, and all of us have little girls to raise.\u00c2\u00a0 God is so good.\u00c2\u00a0 All of those things, coupled with a very intense nature in all three of us &#8230;
