Now, the big HOWEVER. I had a big problem with all the hooha over the store that she went to a couple of years ago that was closed and would not open for her because she is OPRAH. Celebrities that demand special treatment just because of who they are just erks me.

And, I have a huge problem with people who are living with someone who they are not married to being considered a roll model for our youth. Oprah is in this situation and so was Lance Armstrong, and both were hearlded as roll models for our youth. I'm sorry, but people who do this type of thing are being very irresponsible. I pray for them because they will answer for their decisions some day as will we all.
Good morning Marilyn!!! Seems to be quite a few of the regulars on this morning...yeah!!! I did want to say that concerning the store thing...she didn't want them to open the store because she was "Oprah"...she wasn't sure whether the store was open or closed, she was upset because they didn't even want to explain it to her and she thought it was because she was black.

Also, I feel like you do on marriage and living together, BUT since I don't know I was hoping you could tell me or show me.......does it actually say "marriage" in terms of a ceremony and legal document or the "committment" in a relationship. I guess I could ask my Pastor, but I won't see him till tomorrow.
