    The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical.

    I have heard that possums are smart animals. You wouldn’t think so because you hardly ever see one except when it’s dead on the road.
