Emphasis Preaching Journal

Years ago I bought a large quantity of hardware from a man's basement for seventy-five dollars. Even in those days the hardware was worth many times that amount of money and, by today's standards, what I paid amounts almost to nothing. The hardware included nuts and bolts, saws, an electric drill, vises, hinges, and much more. Over the years I have gone to that supply endless times and to great advantage. Given what I paid him for the hardware, in a sense my friend discarded it.
