Beaten by the Jews five times.Flogged by Romans three times.Shipwrecked three times.Stoned once and left for dead.In prison more times than I can recall.During my frequent travels I have been in danger from rivers, floods, robbers, my countryment, and foreigners. I have known exhaustion and exposure, physical pain and personal hurt, hunger and thirst. And in addition to that, I feel the burden of all the churches.Nevertheless, I believe God . . . .
