If you asked my husband why his wife volunteers, his answer would be "Because she doesn't know how to say 'No.'" Honestly, I have thought about that for a long time.

Would Jesus say "No, thanks" to being the dean for Children's Camp? Would Jesus say "No, thanks" to working at the local museum to preserve our local history for...
