You'll bet beat up real bad

"So go out and live real good and I promise you'll get beat up real bad. 

But, in a little while after you're dead, you'll be rotted away anyway.

It's not gonna matter if you have a few scars.

It will matter if you didn't Live."

~Rich Mullins

But God’s eternal Laws are kind

Coumeenoole Beach, Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

"And thus we rust Life’s iron chain

  Degraded and alone:

And some men curse, and some men weep,

  And some men make no moan:

But God’s eternal Laws are kind

  And break the heart of stone.

Ah! Happy they whose hearts can break

And peace of pardon win!

How else may man make straight his plan

And cleanse his soul from Sin?

How else but through a broken heart

May Lord Christ enter in?"

~Oscar Wilde
