However, I have to admit, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson who first met on screen in Thor: Ragnarok, have piqued my interested.Long hair, short hair, buff or fat, Thor is my 2nd favorite Avenger.

For those of us that enjoy southern gospel music and were lucky enough to visit First Christian Church on Thursday night, you were thrilled to hear music that was as professional as I've heard in a church for a long time.
