II Timothy 4:7, 8

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept up the faith; Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but to all them also that love His appearing."

Caring. Hard-working. Hilarious.
