that’s good and I don’t mind, I sin a good
deal for ten years old though if I live long
enough I might live all my evil down
and get bailed out by Jesus, Who they say
died for my sins anyhow so maybe
I shouldn’t sweat it so much but then I
also hear that unless you really try
to be good but you sin you go to Hell
just as if Jesus never died at all
for any soul and the Resurrection’s
just hooey so I’m not sure what to be
-lieve, with something so significant as
my immortal soul on the line maybe
I should be worried. But today’s Friday.
