    Nowadays, it's all about instant gratification. It has become a reality. But advertisers weren't the first to use this strategy. From the beginning, Satan has used instant gratification in his bag of tricks to entice us.

As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more
