There are two ways, the way of life, and the way of death, but far be the difference between the two ways. The way of life is that of nature, but that of death was afterwards introduced, it not being according to the mind of God, but from the snares of the adversary. - the apostles [ Book7 ]
Our Saviour came for no other reason but that He might deliver those that were obnoxious thereto from the wrath which was reserved for them. - apostles [ Book1 ]

Jacob Shaw.
A happy, married, orthodox christian.

I'd like to meet:

you. and your friends. and your friend's friends. and especially your enemies. and everyone who doesn't know you. not to forget everyone who is dead.

Music:


Don't like the silence?
That's God.
Still don't like the silence?
Just wait till your sensory faculties stop working.
Then there will be nothing to distract you from it anymore.
Better start liking it now.
More importantly, better start being more productive.
And stop being destructive.
Make the silence burn less.
