It was a last minute, spur of the moment trip. I was invited to go (paid for) to a church event in Las Vegas and I was so happy to be able to go. Although I probably spent more time on airplanes and in airports than in Las Vegas, that in itself is a grand…
“The heavens endure; the earth is very old. Why? Because they do not exist for themselves, they therefor have long life. The truly wise are content to be last; they are therefor first.
