Hi Andre
Thank you for the quote. I recall reading a quote somewhere about how
God provides for the birds (a takeoff on one of the parables of Jesus)
but He doesn't put the food into their nests. They have to go out and
find it. I would humbly suggest we must do the same if we want to play
a meaningful part of this culture. I don't know about you, but when I
go to the grocery the folk there expect me to pay for what's in my
basket. Perhaps Kirpal Singh didn't have that problem...

Thank you,

Dan
