What does that really say? Christians are supposed to have comfortable lives and be rich, etc? Sheesh...<BR/><BR/>Last week I actually had an old acquaintance warn me about manual labor. Something like how he almost sliced his finger off with a table saw and it changed his life. How he could have lost his whole livelihood along with his finger. So he went into desk-jockey work.<BR/><BR/>Fear...what a great motivator.
