I wondered if I had a future in the Lord's work. I owe a wise friend a great deal today. The Rev. Joseph Beretta took me to coffee one November morning and listened to my self-doubts. Then he gave me perspective and encouragement. His advice turned me around.

Sadly, many of us will not live a new year in 1999. We will just repeat 1998 all over again. We'll make the same mistakes, commit the same sins, and live with the same set of regrets. Because we are so busy, we never take any time to really reflect on our lives enough to change. The 'busy-ness' of life propels through day after day, month after month.
