"I've spent fifteen years of my life fighting for our right to be free and make love whenever, wherever...

“So I find words I never thought to speak In streets I never thought I should revisit When I left my body on a distant shore.”
“Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.”
