"Fathers are worked to a frazzle and so are too dogged to spend quality time with children; mothers are lured away from their little children to the work force; children have their own activities; and the one things that pulls them all to the same room makes zombies out of them all: the television."
- John Piper (www.desiringgod.org), "The Children, The Church, The Chosen"

"As for my solitary life, it was nothing; I did not so much as pray to be delivered from it or think of it; it was all of no consideration in comparison to this; and I added this part here to hint to whoever shall read it, that whenever they come to a true sense of things, they will find deliverance from sin a much greater blessing than deliverance from affliction."
- Daniel Defoe "Robinson Crusoe" (p 98)
