the "Reveal" segment on Extreme Makeover always chokes me up......"Mind over matter; If you dont mind, it doesn't matter" - dad
aim = OrumbaughO" This is our reality, our humanness: the thousand million stimulants of the moment, the indiscriminate mass of motion that the mind is constantly engaging, disengaging, abandoning, retrieving. "
Bill Buford - Among The Thugs
Gold is for the mistress, silver for the maid,
Copper for the craftsman, cunning at his trade.
Good! Said the baron, while sitting in his hall,
But Iron, Cold Iron, is master of them all. - Rudyard Kipling
"You are free in our time to say that God does not exist. You are free to say that he exists and is evil. You are free to say, like poor old Renault, that God would like to exist if he could. You may talk of God, as if he is a mystification or a metaphor. You may boil him down with gallons of long words or boil him down to the rags of metaphysics. And it is not merely that nobody punishes you - but nobody protests.But, if you speak of God as a thing like a tiger, as a reason for changing one's conduct, then the modern world will stop you somehow if it can. We are long past talking about whether an unbeliever should be punished for being irreverent - it is now thought to be irreverent to be a believer." - G.K. Chesterton
