"Yes it is." She said it a little too quickly for me to believe it, and her cheeks colored further as she bowed her head. "It's my middle name." "And?" "And what?" "Are you gonna tell me, or do I have to sneak into your wallet and look at your license while you sleep?" Taylor sat back in her chair, looking mightily embarrassed.

Hindi man lang akong nag-atubiling basahin iyon. Nilingon ko si Papa. Nakahiga ito pero titig na titig ito sa kung anong bagay malapit sa akin. Hinanap ko ang mata niya ngunit talagang pokus ang mga ito sa bagay na iyon. Ang bible na binabasa ko. “That’s hers.” Tiningnan ko din ang librong hawak-hawak ko.

I nodded in response, sitting up to properly observe what he had displayed on the screen. "Good evening ma'am," He said with a slight bow. I bit back a laugh as he started his presentation, so serious like this was million-dollar deal he was pitching for.

Mom bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes when I slipped a finger into her soaked snatch. She yelped when I grabbed a handful of her tan globes. "What does the bible tell us about a fuckin' rockin' rack? You saw 'em. You haven't been able to take your eyes off of 'em! Aren't they incredible?" "Yes, they're magnificent."

" How is the apocalypse described in the Bible? Miguel opened his mouth to speak, but it was Anne's voice that sounded closer to me. "There are seven trumpets for every seven days, and seven scourges for each angel who touches her," said Anne, removing the bible from her arm and searching among the sensitive pages of the sacred book. Zylah rolled her eyes when she realized our friend's devotion, but kept quiet; she was much more concentrated on the fainted archangel and hanging over Michael. Anne cleared her throat." Here it says, basically, that as soon as the first angel blows the trumpet, a rain of stones and fire mixed with blood will hit the ground, burning green trees and herbs. At the

We need to be spiritually alive and let the Spirit of the Lord guide us in everything because the Bible is not any simple book that belongs to the world. No, the the Bible belongs to God.

I said and tapped her shoulders, "I guess I need to crack this code faster so as to not embarrass Gwyneth." Sahra and Jigen stared intently at the statue, trying to identify the underlying message the stone statue is trying to depict, "Conquest of Canaan… isn't that a biblical excerpt from the Book of Joshua that follows the events after the Book of Deuteronomy before the Conquest began?"

She has already started sweating on her lower back although the air conditioner is on full blare. She isn't one who is familiar with the bible although her lack of knowledge about the bible is better than Derrick's. He doesn't even know up to eleven books of the bible. "It.. Um...

She raised me as she stood, an attempt to leave the conversation but she looked back. “They’re both going to hell?” I added and she sighed. “Honey, i’m afraid yes.
