    This is wonderful!!! When meditating on the “narrow path that leads to life and the wide path that leads to perdition” I used to picture it as a church service during the weekdays and a stadium filled to capacity. The model is not valid anymore … Praise the Lord! I hope that this phenomenon will become global!
