"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

The 31st--Issue #7


"...And welcome back, everyone, to The 31st, a semi-regular column featuring all sorts of wild and wacky trivia!"

And that's right, folks! This is the seventh issue of The 31st, a periodic column that I run on my blog in each month that has a 31st day! As mentioned above, it is full of all sorts of fascinating trivia. Have fun learning some new things this month!
