Other News:
I am continually amazed when I think about the verse and quote. These men were so dedicated and selfless. Paul himself would have been separated from Christ for his brothers. I often find myself praying selfishly. Sometimes, my mind wanders from the purpose of prayer. I've got to remind myself moment by moment, I'm not praying for what I want...I'm praying for what God wants. Let's make sure that our desires are in check with God's desires. When that happens, we truly will see Him work!
