religion

Here is a little "soul" food for you. May this morning find you filled with peace.

We have all had semi-religious experiences in the bathroom that could have benefited from the lighting of a match. However, a Kentucky man might have taken that concept a little too far over the weekend, when he set an entire toilet on fire in the name of religion.

People tend to use their religion in different ways. Some preach it on a street corner, some sit in church thanking the Lord above quietly for all of their blessings–often asking for more–and some even get tattoos to show their faith, displaying it proudly for all to see underneath their sleeveless tank tops...

From the start, Carrie Underwood was never shy about her personal beliefs, especially when releasing her single, ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ in the early part of her career. The song went on to become a powerful smash in country music, landing the ‘American Idol’ winner her first chart-topping hit.
