"The test of all happiness is gratitude; and I felt grateful, though I hardly knew to whom. Children are grateful when Santa Claus puts in their stockings gifts of toys or sweets. Could I not be grateful to Santa Claus when he put in my stockings the gift of two miraculous legs? We thank people for birthday presents of cigars and slippers. Can I thank no one for the birthday present of birth?"
-Classic Christian author G. K. Chesterton

Love Jon Foreman's solo work. The lyrics really get you thinking. "Somebody's baby" is one of my favorites. It's really caused me to think about what I can do to help those who are lost.
