Almost distressed, Ethan unzipped Noah's pants and dragged them down. Noah kicked them away to the corner of the room. Now, Noah would soon be naked before his eyes, with his exposed tool, which he had been hiding for such a long time. With slow hands, Ethan pressed his palm over Noah's dick, over his boxers. He pressed his hands over it, and his dick peeked out through his fingers above the waistband. ~ Pierce Smith

I never stopped being a mother, and I never stopped being an artist. Which is probably why my kids are so creative. When I'm with my kids I'm creating but I'm still a mom.

None of my kids would take a bottle so they could not leave my side for a very long time. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith

But the Alabama summer heat will sometimes get broken by cooler days. The haze of the depth of summer lifts, the humidity backs off, and the sky takes on a clearer, sharper blueness that the more languid summer days rarely could manage. And sometimes, there will be a day where the temperature gives a clear peek of what's coming. ~ J.F. Smith

The gospel is more radical, more countercultural, more confronting than anything the Bible has to say about men and women, or wealth, or sex, or whatever! And so it is entirely worng-footed to think we can silence a 'dificult part of God's word in order to win souls for Christ. Christ is the stumbling block (Romans 9:33) and the miracle of faith is that once we trust in Christ, God enables us by his Spirit to see the truth and wisdom and goodness of all his word and his ways. ~ Claire Smith
