Only one turned out -- a portrait of his sister at the piano. Edward’s father thought

You are a child of creation, a reflection of God, 
No one can steal your beauty or reduce your worth, 
Unless you let them…don’t let them!
You are a miracle of God’s love…
Never look at yourself and see anything less!
Your life is not a random stroke of chance,

You have to stay on your job and work for the Lord. 
You can’t work for the Devil at night and for the Lord in the day.
He don’t give no part time pay, you have to work night and day.
You have to stay on your job to work for the Lord.

                    The Arms Race was on; we no longer feared atomic bombs, but the H-bomb. Bomb shelters would not protect against that greater level of destruction.
