Life is full of choices, of opportunities, decisions to make each day. When I read Matthew 7:13, I knew this would be my 9th memory verse this year:“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." English Standard VersionI've seen the beckoning wide gate recently.

The Rest of the Story
