No, I wasn't trying to change anything. I am an elder with a teacher inside. I cannot help being the teacher yet. It is what I am.
If we look at this life in perspective...from the point of view of life or death. We are not taking any temporal things with us when we go.
We need to remember this about.."things" in this life. They all came from Him...we will leave them all behind one day. What is their real value then?
