    CoT

    Moleskin: every man hits that fork in the road of life, to go down a path of his own or God’s, the path of his own is unchanging and ends in the way of nothing but a sad clown. Then there’s the other path of having faith and following the plan that God has set out for you, into the unknown and the wild, but that same faith will get you through anything and that is ultimately the life of adventure and legacy we want to leave behind.
