      This might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real :) .

    I used to sell Kirby vacuums door to door.
    I could tell I wasn’t getting through to the customer one time, so I smashed the vacuum in his living room.
    The man agreed to buy the Kirby.
    I was able to feed myself that week.
    That man was Dusty Rhodes.

    Nothing is better than his performance of Young Man Blues at the Isle Of Wight. Something like 9 straight windmills during the solo, each one lacerating his hand. The man's hand's used to bleed profusely after shows. See the famous shot of him in Rolling Stone Magazine after a US show in 1980. Blood running all over his arm.

    • @johntuttle4486
      @johntuttle4486 Před 6 lety
