Three Cheers for Rusty St. Cyr
June 18th, 2010 joshherndon I had the honor of working with Rusty St. Cyr for two years during my days at Bethany University.

I need to send out $11,000 to payoff our missions trip (which I’m not sure we have) with agreement forms form students (some I’m still missing). I’m hungry. The internet is going in, and out, [...]
