interesting thoughts...


...It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power... thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through Christ Jesus. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. -- 1 Corinthians 15

Fame is a four-letter word. And like tape, or zoom, or face, or pain, or love, or life, what ultimately matters is what we do with it. -- Fred Rogers

The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it. -- Lou Holtz

Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things, on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your own weakness. -- Mother Teresa

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?” Mo had said. “As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells... and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower... both strange and familiar.” -- Inkspell (Cornelia Funke)
