    What is the price of success, what does one have to pay to be blessed?

    If I were to ask how many of you would like to be successful, I would be surprised if there was one who would decline the opportunity and live life in failure.

Before we can really get into the meat and potatoes of calling, I felt it important to first describe the different callings at work ...read more
