“The embassy was active here after the revolution. We didn’t have any problem with them. They started it.”

We don’t have a major problem right now in our country, and life is normal.

The United States is a big country but unfortunately it seems it has the brain of a little bird not befitting the greatness of the country.

Since they had a lot of property and controlled an empire of propaganda, they made the European governments helpless.

This democracy… The elections in Iraq were held despite the American opposition.

Im not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins.

I always feel better after I post a cover. Even if it’s doing the little 15 second covers.

Dad, it’s been an up-and-down road for all of us, but you’ve always been there supporting from afar, texting me Bible verses every single day, telling me you love me every single day. That builds me up and I thank you so much. I love you. I’m just glad you’re part of this journey with us.

What are the sources of an illumination? To me, they come after hours of searching and keeping my soul ready. Yet they come in a flash, as a religious phenomenon.
