You could even have the right stuff and your ideas could still bomb out. So, now that I’ve inspired you with that little tidbit, go out and make it a great day. But wait a sec.

Luciferin light happens when oxidization produces compounds. I bet you’ve been waiting all week long to find out about that. Well, glad I could help. You’re welcome. See ya next time. Wait!

Alright. I know you love me. And I know it’s not because I’m just a poet with soul. Even though I write to delight and ignite. But here’s the thing. You don’t love me the way God does. Now I don’t think, for even a nanosecond, that knowing that truth makes me appreciate your love, even one millimeter less. It’s just that your love, … The rest of the story…

You never heard of the old TV show, To Tell The Truth, so you probably won’t be able to relate to what I’m gonna share with you right now.
