YOU CAN BE MORE PRODUCTIVE
JOHN 21: 1 - 13

he would have excelled. He was All-Pro in the NBA. As an athlete
one word fit him - phenomenal. Remember the man I am about to

chair and pounded my desk saying, "Man was I great..." There was
no ego there, just a fact, and I couldn't dispute it. His full
statement was: "Man was I great, but just think how great I
could have been if I had known Christ then as my Savior and
