Pimp My Ride “Jesus Change My Life” I don’t watch MTV! I find the VAST majority of what on MTV to be absolute trash. But, I have to admit, there is one show that I do enjoy watching when it’s on. The show’s title is somewhat misleading to us “older folks”. It’s called “Pimp My Ride”. It seems ...read more

Comfort My People
