“I held my plastic “Jesus Saves” cross near a lightbulb before going to bed so it would glow in the dark. I didn’t think I was religious and didn’t think about whether I believed or not.

I especially liked the story about Him driving those merchants out of the temple. Even Jesus could lose it if pressed.”

“Confidence is usually a bluff – if you’re lucky you might have it, but frankly nobody will know the difference”
