Princess of Chaos... This is a tale about a protagonist with small-scale regal ambitions to dominate. It deals with chaos, mayhem, anti-order, and system-wrecking, as well as being a document to bullying, emotional violence and self concern at all costs. A sweet girl who suffers badly in the upbringing stakes, beginning life in poverty and neglect, comes to adulthood bearing features that reflect her origins. It is a tale of deceit, addiction and crime, of one poor soul's careless disregard for the law and for any semblance of order and decency that may attempt to insert themselves into her daily existence. If there was to be a movie made from its content it could aptly be titled Princess Chaos.

To the laws and commandments in the Old Testament God demanded strict adherence in order to please Him, and failure to do so could and did often lead to the death of the one who disobeyed. And as it was a complete system in and of itself, given by God it had to be obeyed in all its entirety. One could not just pick out the easy ones to obey. Unfortunately, many orthodox denominations today still observe and teach that many of these commandments or other laws similar are still viable but yet equally preach the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior Jesus thereby combining two very different systems. Christ came with a brand new message "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Mt.11:28 KJV). Christ came to provide grace and offers it as a free gift.
