It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity; The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: Listen! the mighty being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thundereverlastingly.

I was attracted to the concept of Hollywood and the lifestyle here. But I've grown to mistrust it because it has changed. I didn't bargain for digital access parking in some concrete structure. Real heaven for me was to drive somewhere and park right in front. Now the city is going vertical.
Good Heaven, whose darling attribute we find is boundless grace, and mercy to mankind, abhors the cruel.
We will never walk away from Israel. . . Many of us are worried about heaven. Heaven is your reward. You are here as soldiers to take on the enemy.
