I have known Lane Lindell for six years and have the utmost respect for her. I found her to be a beautiful young lady both inside and out. She is mature,articulate, fun-loving and accomplished. Along with her beauty and intelligence and presence, she is also kind and considerate. She has all the qualities to win the Miss World pageant.
I don’t think this is correctly worded:
Jesus’ Golden Rule: “Treat others the way they would like to be treated”.
Isn’t it more like:
“Treat others the way you want to be treated” ?
Let UoF have Tim Tebow…UGA has Merica! I’d take her any day over some trophy! LOL!
