Praise the Lord! Hallelu!

I don't care what the devil's gonna do!

The Word and faith is my sword and shield

Funny!

Very nice, Quartz. I like it very much!

Respectful clarification: Flamboyant: adj. strikingly bold or brilliant; as in flamboyant colors It can mean colorful in the sense of a colorful personality or in the sense of flashy colors.
