Mid-life crisis - The first half is over and you're at half-time, and you're deciding if you want to play the second half the same as the first half. Mark Ramsay

In the western panhandle of Texas is a small town named Texline. It had an ostentatious beginning in the late 1800s as a thriving centre along a new railroad line. Within a few years, though, most of the shops had closed and the town's population shrivelled to about 400. In 2000, the population was still just over 500. One online description of Texline says that it has "a city limits sign at one end, another at the other end, and not much in between." What a waste if the same description could be given of our spiritual journey! Our Daily Bread 6th October, 2009
