You better not breathe a word of this to anyone! The soldier stood at the pile of bodies. The room was filled with a sense of dread and fear. Not fear, maybe anger and revenge.

If you are having a difficult time financially, there is hope yet for you. Many people don't understand that they are in fact creating this reality. It sways between the wants and needs to the things we all loathe and despise.

First, there was God, and God was the truth. Then, there was light, the firstborn angel, Lucifer, which is defined as Light Bringer. The son of God and the great mother aurora goddess of the morning. Hence why Lucifer also means "Venus" or "bright" and "morning star". Now, Jesus or Michael's place of residence. There was luck, light, life, and longevity.

Growing up as a Martin would be impossible for this generation of youths who believe that the highest score wins the love of the parents these days. When you raise your children on chips and pizza, you'd get a boot in your ass by my father, the patriarch and cornerstone of my family, who would just sneer a, "What you looking at boy? You better learn how to cook a decent meal, or I'll teach your ass how after I retrieve my size 12's out of your hind parts, you dig?"
