Jimmy Carter Quotes
In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.

Plots may be simple or complex, but suspense, and climactic progress from one incident to another, are essential.
