Our world leaders should take some note of it. They probably need some inspiration to stop what they're doing right now and set things right. No more poverty, starvation, and wars. The sooner we correct our actions, the less the future generation has to suffer. :D I feel so stupid writing this now, some random high school kid... but I'll submit it before I have the urge to delete it all.

Rebekah, Thank you for your kind words. I am honored that your family would share my words in a place of worship. I too wonder what the world would be like if we all lived by so much of the worlds wisdom, and spent more time on truth and happiness, than greed and hate. Thank you both! Cassandra Nicole,

Rebekah,

Thank you for your kind words. I am honored that your family would share my words in a place of worship.

I too wonder what the world would be like if we all lived by so much of the worlds wisdom, and spent more time on truth and happiness, than greed and hate.

Thank you both!
Cassandra
