Having faith in the plan of salvation includes steadfastly refusing to be diverted from our true identities and responsibilities. In the brief season of our existence on earth we may serve as a plumber, professor, farmer, physician, mechanic, bookkeeper, or teacher. These are useful activities and honorable designations; but a temporary vocation is not reflective of our true identities. Matthew was a tax collector, Luke a physician, and Peter a fisherman. In a salvational sense, 'so what!'

The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?

It is better to trust and sometimes be disappointed than to be forever mistrusting and be right occasionally.

As we come closer to Him, we not only "stand all amazed"-we even kneel all amazed!

Mother lode of learning.

Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!

How can we truly understand who we are unless we know who we were and what we have the power to become?
