James E. Coleman level-classic November 30, 2008

Renee,
I think most would agree with me; there are two good reasons for not praying in the middle of the road, even though praying is a good idea!
1. You could get hit!
2. Darryl will see some other beautiful scene and wander off and.....well see #1!...:):).

Hey hope you don't mind me kidding with you, an awesome shot and work here!!
