I'm not a martyr to the parade idea. However, there are some that are very committed and will be doing most of the work.<BR/><BR/>That is what was so peculiar about this. This group DOES NOTHING to help with the float.<BR/><BR/>They just gripe, complain and stick pins in a doll that looks like me. <BR/><BR/>The problem is they are literally killing this church.
