Before my son could start going on job interviews, he needed to dress the part. That, he decided, required a $500 suit.
"What!?" I answered, gagging at the price tag. "I've bought cars for $500!"
"That's why I want the $500 suit," he said. "So I don't have to drive $500 cars."

I clearly recall the day that one of my professors and I sat for several hours discussing the validity of Christianity's claims and the credibility of the belief in the existence of God.
My friend was unafraid to declare his denial of God's existence and to affirm his belief that death for an individual ends everything.
I had been comfortably open in class that I believe in God and accept the values and principles of Christianity. Our discussion was not meant to dislodge on another from a respected stance. We simply wished to state the bases of our persuasion for and against believing.
My friend finally delivered what he thought was his most effective thrust. He did not apologize for reaching into his quiver and pulling from its pouch the arrow that critics have used for centuries in their attempts to silence the testimony of believers. How dull and bent those arrows have become and yet they keep on flying!
