A special thanks to Tom Cantwell and The Rebel Pilgrim: for the following quotes. “Quotes for Thought” *The following is a poem penned by Wilbur Rees. It was made popular by Ernest Campbell, former iconic pastor/preacher at The Riverside Church, and multitudes have used it since (some without attribution I might add - ha!). Still, it is enough to act as ants in the pants of my faith. (Thanks to Frederich Buechner, for that one.) I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please, not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please. *And, finally, from the indomitable G.K. Chesterton, who always got right to the core of things: Fairy tales are more than true — not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. -- G. K. Chesterton
