Today I was on Facebook when I came across the story of Jason Brown, an NFL player who turned down a $37.5 million contract in order to follow God's calling on his life and start a farm.

All he knew, was that there was more purpose in growing crops on his farm to feed the less fortunate, than making money in the NFL.
