Dear BPCWA worshipper, I recently read of a case where a girl was strongly told by her dad not to travel overseas to meet her new online boyfriend. She wilfully chose to disobey. She got pregnant from that trip. Since the guy did not have a job, they could not even afford a place to stay in.  She then wanted her dad to let them stay with him instead.

If so, then just look up, look at the sunset, and let your heart be lifted to consider the incomparable Artist behind each sunset. The beauty of a sunset.
