Really Prospering

In his book "Fundamentals of Prosperity", Roger Babson writes about visiting a famous manufacturer who also owns cows.
He had a record on every cow. He knew every thing that animal did, probably even every disease each one had suffered. In his library at home he had a blue print of every cows pedigree.

Later on that day a punk boy pulled in his driveway asking for that mans only daughter to take to a dance. Roger Babson also points out that he didn't bring her back until 2 o'clock in the morning. When Roger asked the father who he was. The father said "I don't know, just some friend of hers." he cared more about his livestock's doings then about his daughter doings.

That is exactly what the world is like today.


Men run off to their jobs where they try to feel "successful" and neglect the one thing that will truly bring them success. The souls of their children.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Matthew 16:26
How much worse he would feel to gain the whole world and lose the soul of his child.
