And the kicker is, for someone who “really liked his whisky”, Churchill didn’t drink all that much.  According to his daughter, his usual drink was a “Papa Cocktail”, where he would put about a quarter-inch of whisky in the glass and fill the rest up with water.  Probably learned that in his younger days in South Africa during the Boer War, where water sources in the field were contaminated.  (Africa is Earth’s hard-luck continent for exotic diseases.)  Adding the alcohol disinfected the water in those days before water purification tablets; French soldiers used to do the same, filling their canteens with watered-down wine.

Truth is we do have a choice in fact more choices than ever.  If terrestrial television and radio are loosing market share at alarming rates – what can that mean for Christian venues?  The culture is not engaged in our books, movies, church services and conversation.  We’re in a bubble, a niche of a niche – generational media offers a way out when and if we learn how to use it …

This requires us to be open enough to study other cultures and communication venues if we are to fulfill the Great Commision. Excellent quote.
