To fulfill your mission will require that you abandon your agenda and accept God’s agenda for your life.

We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
When I am playing with my grandchildren, that brings glory to God. So I don't think glory to God is simply serious. I do think that there is glory of God in laughter.
