Normally when I get email forwards from friends I give them a quick glance, but I rarely forward them on. Especially those ones that end with a horrible guilt invoking message at the bottom about forwarding the message to 10 friends or else some bad fate awaits you. Seriously? Is our faith that weak that not forwarding an email affects our futures? Well, today I got a very simple text email with some great messages, and no guilty message at the bottom. I thought the message was so universal, that I would share it today with you.
