When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies.

To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.

And so it is when we do what is assigned to us in our lives and in the church, and then some; then the Lord pays in full, and then some.
