The first message that I preached at Life in the Word, I had to borrow a suit from my pastor's wife, because I didn't have any decent clothes, and I was driving a 20-year-old car.

But, like anybody else who works hard and is diligent and doesn't quit and doesn't give up, there is a day the blessings come.

So Coca-Cola was solidly entrenched in the market, and the management saw no need to improve.

But it's hard to reach the drive-through window at McDonald's from a speeding train. And we're told cars cause pollution. A hundred years ago city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. What kind of pollution do you want? Would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine?
