Why Your Present-Day May Be A Test, Gift-Wrapped.

The past has led me here. What about my future? Why today could be the choice that changes forever, within a blink of an eye. Religion, your outlook is never the same. You believe in a higher power, second guessing if this is the life I’m meant to live, or simply a trick diversion that [...]
