That is such wonderful news. There had been all of these scary rumors that he was failing and fading quickly. He has wanted a life of prayer and study and writing for a long time. He’s run the race…well done good and faithful servant

We’ve come a long way since another famous person in Rome said:

"I came. I saw. I conquered! – Julius Caesar

This new quote is a lot more humble.
