How to Life a Life Worth Living
Rex Yancey
Psalm 23
There was a botanist who was out in the meadow one day on his hands and knees, looking with a magnifying glass at a teeny, little flower on the ground. A shepherd comes up befuddled at what the man was doing. The botanist finally noticed him. The man said, ''What are you doing?'' he said, ''I am observing this tiny flower in the grass.'' The shepherd asked him if he could borrow his magnifying glass. He gave it to him, and he got on his hands and knees to observe the flower.
