My adult life has been one of seldom darkening the doors of a church, but nevertheless I retain the sense of morality inherited from my deeply religious and hard working parents.

In my life, prayer has many times provided relief, but looking back reveals that not once did prayer provide in the absence of my effort. Today while society seeks nirvana, each should be advised that God provides but the individual must seek delivery of the provisions.
