Brother Fritz shares his testimony. He is a "late bloomer" and still struggles with his flesh. But, the challenge to make the best and grow the most wherever he is still resounds in his spirit every day.

     Gideon is a wonderful testimony in humility of the principle, "Bloom where you're planted."

     Don't look for this phrase in this text, but always know that it is a foundation for all of us. No matter where you are, make yourself wonderful before the Lord.
