"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" Mark 8:36.
A few years ago an old school friend of mine retired from a successful military career.
He told me he wanted to something with "real meaning and purpose." He had been disciplined with his finances plus had his military pension so he told me he did not some "big fancy corporate job."
