From the Show

I remember thinking that I wanted to have my fun and live my life the way I wanted. But we don’t know what tomorrow brings or what today holds. And today is the day of repentance, today is the day of salvation, today is the day God is calling you to turn from your sins and receive his mercy and forgiveness.

–Adriel Sanchez
