Birth
It’s my birthday today.  So I was curious to see who else shared my birthday.  I conducted an internet search and found a lot of saints and a whole lot of other people I’d never heard of.  I guess because my search was in English, the search results were mostly American or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quiltingsword.com&blog=1775757&post=404&subd=quiltingsword&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
