If you find yourselves breathing hard at the end of the day, might I suggest in all humility (because I promise you that I am NOT the fount of all knowledge and wisdom) that you take stock of your activities and see if there isn’t some time that could be better used in your relationship with the Savior. “Blow up your TV (hyperbole mine) and try to find Jesus on your own!”

We have righteousness as our weapon, both to attack and to defend ourselves. (2 Cor 6:7b GNB)

Dr. Laurence M. Gould, president emeritus of Carleton College, said “I do not believe the greatest threat to our future is from bombs or guided missiles. I don’t think our civilization will end that way. I think it will die when we no longer care. Arnold Toynbee has pointed out that nineteen of twenty-one civilizations have died from within and not by conquest from without. There were no bands playing and flags waving when these civilizations decayed. It happened slowly, in the quiet and in the dark when no one was aware.”

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all—the apathy of human beings. (Helen Keller, My Religion)

The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that’s the essence of inhumanity. (George Bernard Shaw, The Devil’s Disciple)
