Lesson 137 - "One Step Backward, Two Steps Forward"

Perhaps you have brothers and sisters that irritate you on occasion, if not on every occasion? Maybe you have tried not to say anything or, on the other hand, have given them a memorable tongue-lashing? David Waller knows how you feel! He has realized, too, that neither response works.

A cowboy? A basketball player? A vet? A missionary? An ordinary person? The runt of the family? Maybe just a "little kid"? What if you are a quadriplegic?

We have often heard the saying, "Life is short". And truly it is. The Bible describes it as a vapor--and David Waller illustrates it using wooden yardsticks. But that fact alone doesn't motivate. Wisdom looks at this short life from the lengthy and limitless perspective of eternity.
