Bible Quote by Darrin Lettinga
““I found heaven, nirvana, elysium (whatever the hell you want to call it)...and it is not the heaven of the bible. It is in my backyard, on a bright sunny, blue-sky day, underneath the green canopy of our hundred year old oak tree with a stack of books on the table next to my chair.””
