1. Emeasoba George:

   Do you know? No condition of life is too bad to become good, better and even the best. Do you also know? No human life as well is too damaged or beyond salvation. Besides, there is an iota or atom of sense right inside every so seemed or called nonsense. Yes of course, because when you remove non from every so called nonsense what remains is sense. Now, that is to say obviously, there is also always something in every nothing. Moreover, that signifies conclusively, your so seemed worst condition or circumstance isn't the worst actually. And your so seemed most miserable life isn't the most miserable in the real sense. For, God can effortlessly make up every so seemed worst condition to become the best. Even the most miserable life right here or out there, can become the most enviable life ever. Yes you heard me right as usual, God can do all that and he will do even more than that. If only you do believe in his abilities and words undoubtedly. For, it is ever meant to be unto anyone according to his or her faith, scripture reference (MATTHEW 9:29). -Emeasoba George

2. Emeasoba George:

   True greatness or prominence is only achieved by doing and living in the will of God. Oh! yes, the scripture says promotion or upliftment doesn't come from east, west, north or south. Rather, promotion or prominence solely comes from God, scripture reference (Psalms 75 : 6). That evidently infers, it's God or his will that determines the fate of every human. Therefore, if he (God) has destined you for greatness or prominence. Mark my words, you must be great or prominent in life. Yes! It is a matter of time. And then, your greatness or prominence will turn out to become a reality. But provided you will resolve to walk and indulge in his (God's) will and not at all in your own will.

4. Principal Mark Deblois:

   Obviously, they were disappointed that their bill didn't pass, but it was just the manner in which they say the bill was debated, when they saw people stand up and say these just appalling things, that (the abortion reference) was probably less than the gentlemen who stood up and made jokes. That was almost more upsetting to them because they understood those references. Why didn't they take us seriously? Why were people laughing?

5. Lauren Boebert:
