Five Rules when playing with God (Charles Swindoll)
Selfishly choose your own time and schedule.
Select the location that pleases you.
Limit your stay to please yourself.
Arrange your activities to work for your own benefit and pleasure.
Predict your profit and boast about it.
THE MOST CONTENT PLACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS IN THE CENTER OF THE WILL OF GOD!
