Hey Winner, The Israelites took the good gifts God gave them, but they rejected the giver. How we do that too, don't we? We forget what God has done for us.

Hey Winner, The wall is done and now the Jews are soaking up the word. There aren't thousands of Bibles readily available for them to have in their own tents.

Hey Winner, What keeps us from actually doing the thing to achieve our goals?

Hey Winner, Perfectionism is one thing that really prevents us from moving forward with our goals or with our businesses.
