A FOLLOW UP FROM GEORGE IN SAN DIEGO
Schweitzer got to me as young college/seminary student and I was always impressed w/ a word from his writings which spoke loudly re his commitment being in part based on Jesus' words: "Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake and the Gospel will find it." True, true, true. Life really means the most when you give it away. Contentment and peace follow soon after. Oh if one could live that way every day! It seems paradoxical but one really needs to work at it.....the older you get. Right?
