You Can't Count Your Days, But With The Lord As Your Savior You Can Make Your Days Count.

America Is Said To Have The Highest Per Capita Boredom Of Any Spot On Earth! We Know That Because We Have The Greatest Number Of Artificial Amusements Of Any Country. People Have Become So Empty That They Can't Even Entertain Themselves.
