“One thing about school - I always had this attitude that I was in school to learn, and attempted to do whatever was involved in that process, while school had this attitude that I was there to earn grades, which I couldn't care less about.

“I didn't do anything as active as deciding that I wanted to be a writer. For one thing, I didn't feel like I was the final authority on whether or not I was anything like a writer.

“If he could have his way, Satan would distract us from our heritage. He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life-probably none of which is very important in the long run-to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God's children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He'd like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don't have time to make the effort to understand where we came from, whose children we are, and how glorious our ultimate homecoming can be!” IfsWayChildrenLongImportantHomeRealityRunningValuesForgetEffortMillionsOne ThingInvolvedUltimateBusyThis LifeSatanGloriousHeritageLong RunsInsignificantConcentratingFamily ValuesHomecomingWhere We CameHome And FamilyInsignificant Things Author:Marvin J.
