It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner

Time, God, Parents

John Boehner

Great, Business, Dad

Good, Said, Place
