Two salesman in the late 1800s were sent from
this country on separate missions to Africa to
view the possibilities of selling shoes. One
salesman wrote back to the company and said that
the prospects for selling shoes in that country

barefooted. The other salesman wrote back and

was fantastic because everyone needed shoes.

2 Pet 310-14 10But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night, in which the heavens
will pass away with a great noise, and the
elements will melt with fervent heat both the
earth and the works that are in it will be burned
up. 11Therefore, since all these things will be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be
in holy conduct and godliness, 12looking for and
hastening the coming of the day of God, because
of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on
fire, and the elements will melt with fervent
heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to His
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in
which righteousness dwells.14Therefore, beloved,
looking forward to these things, be diligent to
be found by Him in peace, without spot and
blameless
