A Higher Standard

"As a servant of Christ you should hold yourself to a higher standard. Do your best at everything and anything because you represent Jesus and are the only light people may see. Just getting by is not an option. Excuses are not an option. Be educated, knowledgeable and intellectual. Learn how to communicate with people, learn manners, embrace hobbies and activities that expand your mind and keep you sharp. Be responsible. Learn how to budget and understand financial matters. If you have a family, study and read about relationships, talk to others who have success, read books on training your children and take the time and energy to do a good job. Read your Bible and pray and be looking out for the devil. Proactive, Christians. #noexcuse"

How Much He'd Learned

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."
