Do you think everybody has a relationship with God? And do you have a relationship with God because you fear God or love God? What is it about the faith you believe in that makes you so sure that it exists?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 5 Jan 13

riempie9 Brave Jenny, a little patience goes a long way; that is why some parents do not really want to do it. A wallop on the bum is a quick fix, but it is not good for the child. It serves no one, especially not the kid. And it is reportable.
