You will have to live them out--perhaps a little at a time."
"And how long is that going to take?" "I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps." "That could be... Jayber Crow, born in Goforth, Kentucky, orphaned at age ten, began his search as a "pre-ministerial student" at Pigeonville College. There, freedom me...
