i m going to ad lib. i m not going to read it. comes from the heart. comes from the heart. comes from what jesus said. when you think back, do you think of things that you think you did right, your successes in life? successes in life? do you think there are area uz maybe failed? yes. i think i failed by not studying more and praying more and spending more time with my family. has the world gotten worse in six decades? do you see more evil in the world? it s been the same. always been the same? everybody is a sinner before god. and we, i think it s magnified today because there is television and other technologies that makes what happens in other parts of the world in our living room. but you don t think, you
