  • I Wish I Was as Dedicated as David Wagner

    Every day Dave writes something in his blog. It\’s usually funny. He has an active imagination, and I never know where his blog will go, but it\’s interesting every time. I just can\’t always think of what to say. Today I got up, went to work, went to church and taught the youth. Then I…
