"We are fighting each day trying hard not to let the Devil consume us, and keep us. But, because this battle is not ours, and it is never-ending, we too, in a hidden way, are being sacrificed as well This is the total truth and reality of our lives. Just because we are put here, and given life, does not mean we will make it far enough to achieve his work, or live out the end of our days." Briyonda M. Perkins
