Quote of the Day (Missionary David Brainerd, on the Elusiveness of Time)


“Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose. Oh, that God would make me more fruitful and spiritual.”— Colonial missionary to the American Indians David Brainerd (1718-1747), journal entry Apr. 15, 1746, in Jonathan Edwards, Life and Journal of the Rev. David Brainerd (1826)
