We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with
drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is
offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to
go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot
imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday
at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. C.S.

But whatever was to my profit I now consider
loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I
consider everything a loss compared to the
surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I

be found in him Philippians 37-9a
