I am surrounded by some very talented friends. I am constantly amazed at their abilities and talents. But, the question is, “What do you want to be remembered for?’ I found it interesting that Jesus would give a new commandment to His followers at the conclusion of His earthly ministry. Recall the first and greatest commandment, to love the Lord your God with all your heart.

35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
