"Well, crying isn't gonna bring your dog back . . . unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back or you can go out there and find your dog."

- Homer J. Simpson
Losing Their Taste For Idols

I don't have many original thoughts, so I thought I'd post this one that I stole from Jared's Facebook status:

The silversmiths and idol-makers rioted in Ephesus over lost business not because Christians picketed and protested their industry but because the spread of the Christian faith meant that people had tasted and seen that the Lord is good and therefore just lost their taste for idols.
I'm neither a culture warrior or a culture war pacifist. I'm not sure what the right balance is.

But I think the quote above is an excellent observation, and something to ponder . . . deeply.

You are right, Bill. Something to ponder deeply.

I'll say it again, WOW.

This is pure awesomeness.
