Last breath Quote by John Rokas
“Religious Observance, does not mean: You attend services and then sit back and watch the world pass you by, ¦ In the past several years, I have encountered more than a few self-proclaimed Christians, who no sooner depart their respective houses of worship, but to revert (transform) into the most callous and hateful individuals I've known in my time. At the very least, within this most holy of weeks, an added effort should be made to enrich the lives of those in need and less fortunate than ourselves. No matter what or how youre feeling, there are so many in a more dire state than yourself. Those who are struggling just to survive and those whos last breath is fast approaching. It is not an expensive thing to offer a kind word or gesture of support or concern to one whom is disadvantaged in one way or another. In fact there is substantial wealth to be attained from practicing what you preach~”
