Re: Quick Hits
Mr Johnson is dealing with Karma!! I know his family!!! From what I can tell, it seems that everything is coming around in a full circle and biting him in the ass!! He has stated, ooohh sooo many lies! If you all only knew!!! I tell you, it's Karma! He uses a lot of bibical scriptures but does not practice what he writes or what comes out of his mouth. He is not able to hide behind the bible anymore. Keeping a close eye on the "saga".
