0:08.0

I read a lot of scriptures. I could quote things, I could say things, I could remember things and I really enjoyed that part of myself

0:16.2

I really enjoyed being the one that could raise my hand in Sunday school and have you

0:20.4

know what I thought was the answer or a viable answer and so to turn it on its head and now be the person that like nobody really wants to hear from because what I'm saying is unpopular or uncomfortable or some people just think is heretical.
