•	It is ironic, for example, that the most shop-lifted book is the Bible.
•	Every year ABC cuts down A Charlie Brown Christmas—a movie about

                    One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.

As we voyage along through life:

                    A church was having a break in problem so they had a new alarm system installed. When the alarm goes off, the alarm company calls the church, calls the pastor, calls the assitant pastor, and then calls the sheriff.  We need alarms like that in our lives.
