I couldn’t agree more, however, I love reading blogs. I just skip the ones I don’t prefer.

“If you live today you breathe in nihilism. In or out of the Church it’s the gas you breathe. If I had had the Church to fight it with or to tell me the necessity of fighting it, I would be the stinkingest logical positivist you ever saw right now.” Flannery O’Connor.

And, to think she only lived to be 39.

This reminds me of an old D. L. Moody quote. Someone asked Moody what was the most important thing he had ever done for God. He thought a moment, then answered, “I talked one hundred people out of entering the ministry.”
