Interesting conversation on the way home from church.
Mich: Daddy have you succeeded in life?
Dad: (Laughs) Tell me. What do you think?
Mich: Well, you have a wife, that means you didn't break up with her.
Dad: Go on
Mich: You succeeded in school.
Dad: Yes, you can say that.
Mich: You have children who are normal for their age.
(We cracked up at this point)
Dad: So what do you think is missing from your description?
Mich: Love?
Dad: Well, not exactly. It is God. If you are living your life in a way that doesn't bring glory to God, if you are not in that place, it doesn't matter what you have, you wouldn't have succeeded in life.
Silence.
