So many people say, I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be. Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.
