YOLO
Never in the history of mankind did four letters so eloquently sum up all that is wrong with a generation.
When Was God at His greatest?
Allahu Akbar. God is the greatest. We hear it from the minarets as they call Muslims to prayer. A year ago I saw a news clip where a bus full of refugees finally allowed to enter Germany were crying it out. Not long after I graduated college others in a plane cried it out as…
