Derrick L Green

Time well-spent reflects a life well-lived. No empire lasts forever; no dynasty continues unbroken. Someday you and I will be mere legends. All that matters is whether we did what we could with the life that was given to us. We know when we are going to enter this world, but God didn’t give a man here on earth the power to determine when our life is going to end.
