Quote of the day

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. ~A. W. Tozer

I totally agree. Technology seems to rob me of my time (versus saving me time). I can get up with the best intentions and an hour later, I am still surfing around the web, reading stuff that will NOT change my life. However, my bible sits in the same place I put if after church Sunday. Romans 7:15.

What a great quote for TODAY from a man that died in 1963. Imagine what he'd think of our cell phones and ipods every where we go...
