ignoring your face.
There...

Jesus Christ As Climate SaviorTo my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme U.S. Savior,
I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,

In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified...

Ten Years, Somewhere In Their Lost Neighbourhood
“Ten Years, Somewhere in their Lost Neighbourhood”
Of course,

there is no course,
