Spirituality and Church

"A man without a vision is a man without a future. A man without a future will always return to his past." "A knife cuts because it has a narrow focus" (Cleddie Keith). "A coward dies a thousand deaths, but a brave man dies only once" (Roman soldiers)."When God predetermined our destiny, He factored in our stupidity.
