He is Missouri French, she is not.
but she was a Francophile and a major in French for many years,
and she describes how her attitude came to change with regards to being a purist about French:
The stage on which they are performing looks like the stage at The River Ridge Winery, only about 20 miles from my house. I know the owner, and frequently head up there for the music shows.
Addendum to Add: Nope, I looked on the actual YouTube channel, and I see it's the Fox Valley Folk Festival, near Chicago. But it totally looks like the big oaks by the River Ridge Winery stage.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
