The story

Someday all this STUFF will be gone and we will die and stand before God. Make sure your treasures are in heaven and not on this earth. Know what is really important and keep it in perspective...What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through Him...end of sermon.
Sincerely, Dave — dbmcd
