Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations.
-- Orson Welles
Is this how we sit through church and listen to Scripture? To recognize the quotations?
Probably more than we'd like to admit.

Dear Sirs and Madams,
As a native Dallasite, I have had to put up with my fellow Texan's taunts that Dallas was really a carpet-bagging Yankee city all my life. While I would often agree that Dallas' northern suburbs certainly had an Eastern tinge to them, I nonetheless defended the honor of my native city as a truly Texian enterprise.
Alas, I fear that I can no longer make that defense for the Dallas Morning News. Looking in the restaurant section of the Week-End Guide, I couldn't help but notice you have dropped the entries for barbecue restaurants. I saw listings for any number of cuisines that would be comfortable in, and native to, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago, but nothing for Texas' best and most popular native dish.
Even poor bbq is better than no bbq.
Sincerely yours,
P.M. Summer

The Truth and the Good News.
"The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what you're saying, and they can't know what you're saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting unless you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly."

Noted former atheist George Carlin on religion.
How to be an effective Evangelist (Teller of the Good News):
- Watch the video (Rated R for Language).
- Agree with it (even where he's wrong, he's right).
- Explain to the people you meet how and why it differs from the Good News of Jesus Christ.
