And we were left without prayer, or power
Yes, a couple holding hands jumped from the building
But when I was the o

Did you ever have a morning when you just did not want to wake up? Sleep can be marvelous, but dreams not so much. If you believe, here is a tale. "She was awakened by the mushing of her pillow around where her head lay squarely on it. It was not violent,
