Nehemiah 5:1-13

How many people spent some time in front of a mirror like this today? Anybody? Ah, just a few of you, huh? That's amazing. The disheveled guy in the back didn't do anything with the mirror. All of us, I think, if we're honest would say, "Yes, I spent a little bit of time in front of the mirror. I mean, I spent some time shaving. And I was look ...
