Pleasure Quotes

Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, a man called Albinus. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; was not loved; and his life ended in disaster.

You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!
Keith Green
