Several years ago, I read a story about C. A. “Pop” Farley, who served many sessions as a counselor at a Christian summer camp. Later in life, he discovered he had cancer and eventually planned his own funeral, asking a friend to relate that at each session of camp, they worked to instill in the campers the principle, “You don’t have to – You get to.” His inspiration likely came from a poem by an unknown author.
Remember that you don't have to — you get to
Thinking of God
