would have done it all so differently! Now he had to live in a poorly built house. So it is
with us. We build our lives, a day

at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we
realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it
much differently. But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you

the choices you make today, help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow. Therefore,
build wisely!
