This video popped in my feed today. Though it's almost a year old, I still felt like posting it here.

His ''hope'' to retire was beaten to death by the SCRIPT like that of millions before him.

It was painful for me to watch because of his smile.

He's smiling in the video but most people will not be able to see the anguish he feels everyday on his bed, in the silent moments before he closes his eyes to sleep, thinking what he did wrong and why his hope didn't come true. Those silent moments of desperation.




I feel we should buy more copies of UNSCRIPTED and TMF and give to as many people as we could. This is the gospel that many need to hear, read and live.
