John Wesley was rescued from a burning building when he was a child. The experience of being saved by a loving God who deserved his grateful service never left him. In serving that God he traveled 250,000 miles on horseback, averaging 20 miles a day for 40 years. He preached 4,000 sermons, produced 400 books, and learned to use 10 languages. At the age of 83 he was annoyed that he could not write more than 15 hours a day without hurting his eyes; at 86 he was ashamed that he could not preach more than twice a day. He complained in his diary that there was an increasing tendency to lie in bed until 5:30 in the morning.

What Are You Doing With Your Life?
God has entrusted to us this one and only life. How are you spending it? I like the story of John Wesley:
