     | 4,874 views

    You know what "The Blame Game" is don’t you? Because we’ve all played it! Admittedly some of us play it a lot more than others, but it’s really all just a game of personal deflection. It involves blaming everything and everyone else (including God) for what is transpiring in your own life

You know what The Blame Game is – don’t ...read more
