The late Malcolm Forbes, editor of Forbes Magazine, stated that, “anybody who thinks money is everything has never been sick, or is.” Pastor David McKenchie, who found this quote, expands its meaning: “The two most important days of our lives are the day we will born and the day we discover why we are born. We spend most of our lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have and to do. They have no real significance for us, except as they are transcended from the verb to be. The essence of life is tied up in being, not wanting, having or doing.” - David McKenchie, Experiencing God’s Pleasure
“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe…. Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not. Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
