Favorite Quote:
I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God. - J. G.


My eyes fall shut
I'll only sleep for a little while
Dreams invade my mind
I'll be here for a little while
I take one glance
At the stars above
Before I'm gone
Forever isn't as long as it used to be
So I'll only be gone for a little while

I wrote this a couple years ago during a time in my life where I was contemplating suicide, but I enjoy the poem.
