Revival in the Church comes not from increased efficiency in organization but from waiting upon God. Not that efficiency is not necessary, but no amount of efficiency can breathe life into a body from which the Spirit has departed.
William Barclay, The Daily Study Bible: the letters to Timothy, Titus and Philemon, pge 263. [Revised edition 1984]

Fences
There is just enough room in the world for all the people in it, but there is no room for the fences that separate them.

Writing letters
William Barclay once wrote:
Letters are dangerous things. A man will often write with a bitterness and presumption which he would never use to another's face.
The same applies to emails...perhaps more so, since we're prone to sending them off quickly, without checking the way they're written. So, don't abuse, but speak the truth in love.
