Death and We Real Cool "The sluggard’s craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work" (Proverbs 21:25).

These teenagers explain how they stay out late playing pool, fighting, sinning and drinking. Though they think they have everybody else fooled
Love was the one thing Lauryn was after since she was a little girl. She was fascinated with the idea of being married and settling with someone. What she did not expect was the hunt for love being so hurtful, heartbreaking, and draining. After many failed relationships, and many years of emotional abuse, she realized that all she really needed is herself and not someone else’s love and approval.
