Quote of the Day

"The wonderful thing about simplicity is its ability to give us contentment.  Do you understand what a freedom this is?  To live in contentment means we can opt out of the status race and the maddening pace that is its necessary partner.  We can shout 'No!' to the insanity which chants, 'More more, more!'  We can rest contented in the gracious provision of God."
