And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. — Revelation 20:15 Hell is awful.

“OMG, I’d die for an ice cream cone right about now!” “Wow, did you see the legs on that woman? I’d die to have legs like that!” “Man, I’d die to have a penthouse in Manhattan…just for a week, even.” How many times have we heard, or even expressed, sentiments like these?

Bill is one of those guys that you don’t forget…nay, that you cannot forget…that your subconscious, even, refuses to loosen your memory of.

You have a name for everything I am; but I’ve only got one for you. You call me a dinosaur because the principles I am bound to live by are ancient. You call me a racist because I disagree with social programs that, in the long run, cripple those you claim to be helping. You
