A strong foundation is essential.This is true of basically any aspect of life.The fact that you can build a strong foundation without being aware of it had escaped me.I am currently working on my testimony for my Baptism on March 27th - WHOOOOO, how great is God huh? - First draft looked good so I gave it to my friend Chris to review for me and he complimented me on my structure or writing.
