A Thought

"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Just wanted to share a thought from Dr. King.

In a few minutes I will be going to a craft night at church. We will be making valentines and working on our own projects. After valentines I will be working on a zentangle pattern zine for a swap.

The Point

"The battle is not the point. Evil is not the point. The point is the love story. We live in a love story that is set in the midst of a war. When you understand those two things, you will suddenly understand Christianity, and you will understand your own life."
-- John Eldredge

When I was adding list of books I had read in 2010 to the archives of books read, I found the above quote from the book Adam by Ted Dekker which I read in 2009. It isn't in the book itself but in an interview included with the book.

Two Favorite Quotes

The world is fairly studded and strewn with unwrapped gifts and free surprises . . . cast broadside from a generous hand.
-- Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk




It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and an corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare . . . There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
-- C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
