Twenty Years from now

You will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the things that you did.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
~~Mark Twain~~

Chances Seized

If I’ve learned nothing else in this sometimes crazy life of mine, the one thing I have gained knowledge of is that God gives us many opportunities, blessed chances—the chance to have our lives redeemed, the chance to follow Him, the chance to be fulfilled through Him. This blog is about how seizing these chances affects my life and to encourage others to seize the chance.

As I've said about my teaching and beginning to charge for it: People rarely appreciate that which is free.

I wonder which is correct...
