“If God calls you to be a missionary, don’t stoop to be a king.” –Jordan Groom
I’ve been thinking about this quote all day. I first read it in college and then heard it in a song (Switchfoot, maybe?) and it was one of those quotes that really got me thinking. Most anyone would agree with [...]

Charlie jams the blocking system. He sacrifices himself while saving everyone including Desmond. Charlie [...]
