Thanks to Jason Woolever for finding and posting this quote on his blog post-methodist. It is from Fred Craddock.
“When I was in my late teens, I wanted to be a preacher. When I was in my late twenties, I wanted to be a good preacher. Now that I am older, I want more than anything else to be a Christian. To live simply, to love generously, to speak truthfully, to serve faithfully, and leave everything else to God.”
