New Age Macaroni Cheese And Turkey Bake

I once read the following definition of a fanatic: 'A fanatic is a person who, having lost sight of his goal, redoubles his effort to get there.' The fanatic runs around frantically getting nowhere. He is a basketball player without a basket, a tennis player without a net, a golfer without a green. For a Christian to make progress in…learning to please God, he must have a clear idea of what his goal is… Jesus stated it this way: 'Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.'
