and again until He gave them their reward” (p 9, lines 111-114). Clearly, Christianity does not support the pagan creatures mentioned in this passage.

Love is simply a risk that has to be taken to proceed to the next step, even though someone may have to suffer the heart break and disappointment when the first step has failed.

The industrial billionaire gave rise to some of the most iconic skyscrapers, railroads, and was responsible for the creation of an abundance of libraries in America.
