    Sam wasn’t emotionally mature and was considered pretty insensitive. He just did not want to or could not pick up on what people were expressing.

    C.S. Lewis on Rewards It is God’s perfect plan and will to give a reward to those who faithfully trust and obey Him.

    THE HEART OF THE SAVIOUR I am reminded of the story of a wee lass who sought baptism and membership in a country church.
