Are You A Whosoever?

​ I love y’all but when I say y’all I mean mostly the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. No offence. I try to love the rest of y’all but it’s hard sometimes. Some people are easy to love, like your family and friends. What about the extremely rude people who think their time is more valuable than yours?
