In the grocery store of life.
Read John 15:10

"I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please, not enough to explode my
soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or
a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of Him to make me love a
black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not
transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want
a pound of the Eternal in a paper. I would like to buy $3 worth of God
please." -Wilbur Reese-
