“Read your Bible from end to end. Read it everyday. Some of you say, “if I read my bible through 5 time in one year I wouldn’t get anything done”. You’re right, you would get a lot less done. But you know what, you just might become the kind of person who in the very few things that you do, would make an everlasting difference in the world.” John Piper

It was funny for a while, and we laughed together with him until he started lifting his head, banging into the Step and Play.

family. The problem with family, is they don’t quit, you don’t fire them,
and you don’t go out of business if they have poor performance. However,
life can really turn into a living hell.
