The Anti-Christ doesn’t have horns. No, the Anti-Christ acts in every way that is completely opposite of Christ! And we all know who that is! But if you take the Bible literally like fundamentalists do, then you miss the obvious staring you right in the face!

Our two rescue Chihuahua mixed dogs, Angel (left) & Flora (right). They’ve been with us for a year now. Angel is 10 pounds and Flora is nearly double Angel’s weight! Angel has taken more to my partner, but that’s ok because Flora likes me better. 😂
