| "Chairman. Ministers. Today I've repeatedly heard how irrelevant my department has become. Why do we need agents? The Double-0 section? Isn't it all rather quaint? Well, I suppose I see a different world than you do. And the truth is that what I see frightens me. I'm frightened because our enemies are no longer known to us. They do not exist on a map. They're not nations. They are individuals. Look around you. What do you fear? Can you see a face? A uniform? A flag? No. Our world is not more transparent now. It's more opaque. It's in the shadows. That's where we must do battle. So, before you declare us irrelevant, ask yourselves, how safe do you feel?" |

-Matthew Henry

-Charles H. Spurgeon

"[We] wanna make the world dance
Forget about the pricetag
Pricetag, forget about the (Hey.) price(Hey.)tag (Hey. Hey!)
Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone, dancin', you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything, inside and out
Don't you (your amazing...) forget about me (...just the way you are)
As you walk on by, will you call my name?
As you walk on by, will you call my name?
As you walk on by, will you call my name?"

Not knowing then but still learning now exactly what it meant;
Served as deacon from then to '06, serving wherever sent,
Learned that no matter how earnestly a lady or gent,
If leadership corrupt, we'll never make a dent."
'A farmer set out to plow a field...' "
