is to show you how to become conscientious adults to serve the lord and follow the example of jesus christ and contribute to the world in meaningful ways. now, you have to begin making career choices to provide for yourselves and your family in the years ahead. that leads me to the first of two thoughts of a bike to leave with you today. goals are great. preparation is key. almost all of you are anxious about what you are going to be doing after graduation. some of you do not have jobs lined up. others of you do, but are not sure about long range plans. my advice is think less about long-term goals then performing well at what you are doing now. work hard to prepare for whatever may come. if you possess a high-quality education, which you now do, if you are willing to work and you are receptive to opportunity, you need not turn every turn that your professional career ought to take. become fixed on one particular path can lead to disappointment. goals are important, but i have found a preparation for whenever life brings is indispensable to success. as americans, we can have many jobs. we

yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the fulfillment of the words of the lord jesus christ in matthew, chapter 24 and 14. he said the gospel would be preached in all the world as a witness, and then the end will come. nothing happened, but something did happen. i am really wondering if this is sufficient to keep coming up here. this may be my last time. i have just with five seconds saying that, did i not? last week, we learned about the best talk show host in the family radio. the reason why that is the truth is because it is the only radio station that reads the word of god with no comment. jesus said, "judge not, and be not judged." it will be measured back to you again. cast out the demon in your own eyes. if i was like the sheriff, and by the way, i think sure of mercury me ought to sit at his feet and learn from him -- if i had a fraudulent birth certificate, i would have to cast out the beam in my own eye. we have not had a president. that is a felony. he ought to be arrested. i hope the next one does not wind up dead, and the sheriff will not wind up dead, or the guy who wrote
