"Many of us, though, face a new poverty. We are no living on the streets, but we're stuck in a rut. We are in danger of gaining the while world and losing our souls. What we have received from God has taken preeminence over the God who has received us. His gifts are for us to enjoy, but not for us to worship. If what He has given us now stands between us, we must again lay it at His feet. No matter how rich we become, we must always remain poor. We must ensure that while we celebrate the goodness of God, we do not neglect the purposes of God."--Erwin Raphael McManus, in Chasing Daylight
Kind of like "Cheers" is to Bostonians, we're a Dallas-area hangout for misfits and wingnuts but people like each other here and we laugh a lot. But hey, we always set out an extra plate, like they do in Arab lands. Come on in, get a cup of coffee and stay a while.
