Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Greed consumes everything that we are in the pursuit of everything that we don’t have. Therefore, to possess everything that the world has to offer but to have lost ourselves in the pursuit is to hold everything but to possess nothing.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Criss Jami
“Whenever you feel like feeling like a devil's advocate, Bible-thump. That, in a worldly world, is the great irony and satire of evangelism.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy
