Quotes

Two words, dear readers, and then goodnight indeed: Testimony envy.

Backstory:
On Sunday people were talking in Sunday school about testimonies. You know, conversion experiences.
Many people who've never had a conversion experience, or not an exciting one, for some pathetic reason feel like lesser Christians because they haven't got a blinding-light-and-speaking-ass sort of story to tell.

The end.
