The activities are perfect for cold winter days.

Westley said to me in a whisper: "God damn! I'm tired of sitting here. Let's get up and be saved." So he got up and was saved.

Then I was left alone on the mourners' bench. My aunt came and knelt at my knees and cried, while prayers and songs circled, all around me in the little church. The whole room prayed for me alone. And I kept waiting quietly for Jesus, waiting, waiting-but he didn't come. I want to see him, but nothing happened to me. Nothing!

"Langston, why don't you come? Why don't you come and be saved? Oh. Lamb of God! Why don't you come?"

Now it was really getting late. I began to be ashamed of myself, holding everything up so long. I began to wonder what God thought about Westley, who certainly hadn't seen Jesus either, but who was now sitting proudly on the platform, swinging his legs and grinning down at me, surrounded by deacons(教堂执事) and old women on their knees praying. God had not struck Westley dead for lying in the temple. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I'd better lie, too, and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved. So I got up.

Suddenly the whole room broke into a sea of shouting, as they saw me rise. Waves of rejoicing swept he place. Women leaped in the air. My aunt threw her arms around me. The minister(牧师) took me by the hand and led me to the platform.

When things quieted down, in a hushed silence, interrupted by a few joyous "Amens," all the new young lambs were blessed in the name of God. Then happy singing filled the room.

That night, for the last time in my life but one-for I was a big boy twelve years old-I cried. I cried in bed alone, and couldn't stop. I buried my head under the quilts, but my aunt heard me. She woke up and old my uncle I was crying because the Holy Ghost had come into my life, but I was really crying because I couldn't bear to tell her that I deceived everybody in the church, that I hadn't seen Jesus, and that now I didn't believe there was a Jesus any more, since he didn't come to help me.

Things You Should Quit Doing to be Successful

Would you like to be successful? But what are you willing to do in order to reach your goal? 1. If you want it bad enough, you will get it. When you are productive, you efficiently finish various tasks and achieve better results. However, there are many bad habits that successful people will try to avoid to reach their desired success.

They don’t do without first learning. The greatest thing about learning is the benefit that we receive in all aspects of our lives. If we stop learning, then the only thing we can do is settle with what we already know; if we settle for that, then there is no way to expand our minds. 2. Since our minds require learning for expansion, we must never stop seeking new knowledge.

They don’t work in their comfort zone. What is your comfort zone? Your comfort zone is defined as “A psychological state in which a person feels familiar, at ease, in control, and experiences low anxiety.” When you get outside of your comfort zone, it doesn’t mean that you should strive for a constant state of anxiety and stress. 3.

4. Social networks are great for staying in touch with family and friends. However, when chatting, posting, sharing, and looking at various funny photos, we waste hours just scrolling through pages. Usually, before we fall asleep, we decide to check if there is something new in the news feed and end up falling asleep very late at night. You then feel tired in the morning and incapable of doing anything that demands focus and hard work.

They don’t hang around negative people. Negative people are very harmful to be around when it comes to achieving success. 5. When you are around negative people enough, you start to see things negatively and you begin to lose sight of your dream. If that happens, life will reward you with negative outcomes to deal with.

A. They don’t fear asking for advice.

B. Expansion is essential on the path to success!

C. They don’t spend a lot of time on social networks.

D. Success is not something that happens by accident.

E. Getting lost in small things causes us to miss out on the overall views.

F. Success is more about a person’s way of thinking than anything else.

G. It simply means that, in order to grow, you should try new things and expand your horizons.
