I am convinced that if we lose kids to the culture of drugs and materialism, of violence and war, it's because we don't dare them, not because we don't entertain them. It's because we make the gospel too easy, not because we make it too difficult. Kids want to do something heroic with their lives, which is why they play video games and join the army.

And I will die, and you will die, and we all will die, and even the stars will fade out one after another in time.
- Jack Kerouac
Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north - wind's breath, And stars to set; but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!
- John Milton
We hear tears loudly on this side of Heaven. What we don't take time to contemplate are the even louder cheers on the other side of death's valley.
- Zig Ziglar
Bethlehem and Golgotha, the Manger and the Cross, the birth and the death, must always be seen together.
