that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

This is no child's game. This is the big one -
the Super Bowl - the Game of all games.
The rules of Life are unwritten and unknown.

"So just take pleasure in playing the Game."

When you cry and weep,

God is the ultimate dance.

best for each of us individually,

in ourselves, our family, and our friends.
