Some of the most blind are those who profess a ‘form of godliness’, but have no concept of being led by the Holy Spirit. They may attend some church...

Other than the fact I couldn't wear my glasses--since they hadn't been invented yet--it was pretty luxurious back then. Okay, we couldn’t drink the water. Instead, we had wine. Oh, the hardship.
