Starting Over This Year
To go somewhere new, of course, it’s necessary to know where we are.
Never Quitting
“Never give up, never give in.” This could have been the motto of Paul’s life. Quit simply wasn’t in the man’s vocabulary. We ought to erase it from ours as well. And we can if we’ll hear and heed Paul’s last words to his friend, Timothy.
