Nowhere else to go

"How often do we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource!
We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And when we learn that the storms of life
have not driven us upon the rocks but into the desired heaven."
~George MacDonald

Who wander

"Not all those who wander are lost."

Their bullets can't stop the prayers we pray

10 september 2004, 'Ground Zero', NYC

"Why do the nations rage?

Why do they plot and scheme?

Their bullets can't stop the prayers we pray

In the name of the Prince of Peace

We walk in faith and remember long ago

How they killed Him and then how on the third day He arose

Well, things may look bad

And things may look grim

But all these things must pass except the things that are of Him."

~Rich Mullins

The Lord is righteous

"For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; the upright will see His face."

~Psalm 11:7

Sacred gift

"May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder."

~John O'Donohue

You'll get 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

Where you are understood

"Where you are understood, you are at home."
~John O'Donohue

It is by loving

Katwijk, Holland

"It is by loving and not by being loved that one can come

nearest to the soul of another."

~George MacDonald

Be my frowning friend

"Come, then, affliction, if my Father wills, and be my frowning friend.

A friend that frowns is better than a smiling enemy."

~George MacDonald

That divine spark alive

"Love is the best and noblest thing in the human heart,

especially when it is tested by life as gold is tested by fire.

Happy is he who has loved much, and although he may have wavered and doubted,

he has kept that divine spark alive

and returned to what was in the beginning and ever shall be."

~Vincent van Gogh

Called to witness

"We are called to witness, always with our lives and sometimes with our words,

to the great things God has done for us."

~Henri Nouwen
