'We never know whom we marry, we just think we do. Or even if we first marry the right person, just give it a while and he or she will change. For marriage, being the enormous thing it is means we are not the same person after we have entered it. The primary problem is learning how to love and care for the stranger to whom you find yourself married.'
- Stanley Hauerwas

A farmer's cow gave birth to twin bull calves. The farmer was delighted as bull calves are worth more than a cow calf. Since he had two he decided to sell one for the work of the Lord once it was fully grown.
