Quote #10
Two days later she announced at the dinner table that the Lord had guided her quite clearly and that I should give up boxing as it displeased Him. When I had done so, I would be guided in the Lord's special plans for me.
When I replied that boxing was too important to me, she had burst into tears. (23.40)
