You know the great physicist Albert Einstein once said,

and not everything that can be counted counts.

For these last couple of programs, Chipp will focus on how we can stop wasting our lives chasing one thing after another

by uncovering God's plan for true contentment and peace.

and everyone knew everyone. And so it was a big thing in town and a lot of people would come from the town and every year a number of people would come to Christ and Christians who needed their priorities realigned, would get their priorities realigned.
