A man was stranded alone on a deserted Pacific island for years. Finally one day a boat comes sailing into view, and the man frantically waves and draws the skipper’s attention. The boat comes near the island and the sailor gets out and greets the stranded man.
After a while the sailor asks, “What are those three huts you have here?”
“Well, that’s my house there.”
“What’s that next hut?” asks the sailor.
“I built that hut to be my church.”
“What about the other hut?”
“Oh, that’s where I used to go to church.”

"The truth is, all our time is made up of present time, and all we need to care is, that we may all the time do the best we can for our great Creator this present minute." -- Henry Opukaha'ia, first Hawaiian Christian and New England evangelist (1814)
