My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.

The sole object of our being here is that we may grow like Him - and we can do that only through prayer. The more we pray for ourselves the more power will our prayers have for any other purpose whatever; so praying for ourselves is the reverse of selfishness - it is truly glorifying God.
