18th century Puritan preacher William Nicholson shares his view on the triumphs and glory of the church. There is only one real church, which is the church of purity and perfection in heaven.

We currently live in a world that seems to thrive on the power of lies and deception. The things that are bound to hurt us are covered up by those who gain the most. The ones without voices have been left to suffer, until now. Nature has awoken through the marine and wildlife of the Earth, and for once they have a voice...and for once they have the power. Mankind finds out quickly that "Super Power" is a state of mind. It's not a matter of the strong will survive, but rather the pure of heart will lead the way.

In this universe, many different realities exist simultaneously. You have to be careful when it comes to what you think about, wish for, and especially what you say. Thoughts and words have more power than you know, and you can turn your sense of reality into one you may not like.

If it is not, then be very mindful of what needs to change, because eventually, your own creation could end up being your own worst nightmare. This is The Scary.
