STARBUCKS SOCIETY
Sometimes people describe today as the culture of "Starbucks" or the "iPod" society? We have been taught to look at ourselves as individuals, and the preferences of the individual are more important than the group. At Starbucks you can stand behind somebody and they can rattle I

But then...Luke says, “When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.” Not the kind of break Peter had in mind. Not the kind of outcome he had in mind either. Have you ever reached to lift something -- a milk jug,
