Your drawing becomes a meaningless diagram and the time so spent is wasted.”

We pastors in particular seem to search for a shortcut or some dynamic new strategy that will fire up our churches.”

Employing saturation-bombing techniques, we delivered more than 110,000 tons of bombs to those hills during the eleven-week containment of Khe Sanh.”

I wasn't ugly; and even more important, I had my loneliness, which, as every cad knows, is a deadly weapon with women.
