We become wise, Lord, and begin to understand our place and yours only when our hair is white, our minds slowed, our joints unable to leap to do your will. And we build fantastic towers and plan grand campaigns without ...read more

    If God means what He says, & He is going to reward us according to our labor, then we ought to be asking ourselves, "What am I worth to God?" And I think the answer to that would depend upon our answer to 3 more questions:
