We have a saying, When you are persecuted, thank God that you have not been thrown into prison. If you have been thrown into prison, thank God that you have not been beaten. If you have been beaten, thank God that you have not been killed. And if you have been killed, thank God that you are with Him in heaven. - A convert from Islam quoted in David Garrison, A Wind in the House of Islam p.155
Many of the world's most attractive temptations are
like some television commercials: frequently
deceptive, and frightfully costly.

I may be on the devil's hit list, but I'm on Jesus'
mailing list!
--"Eulis 'Sonny' Dewey" (Robert Duvall)

and directed by Robert Duvall)
