"…when you see all that God has done for you in Jesus Christ, when you see the love he promises to show you in spite of all you’ve done to deserve the opposite – when you see that love, it breaks your heart to sin against him. It breaks YOUR heart to break HIS heart. And that’s the source of true repentance: a heart that breaks for God."-RW Glenn Hosea Part 8: The Rain of Righteousness

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.-William Penn

What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.

-Jawaharlal Nehru

The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

-Psalm 33:13-22 (ESV)

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

-J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.

The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.

I was so dead I couldn't hear you,

Too deep in sin to come near you.

But you drew me in, you cleaned me up

so take me home, beam me up.

Before you do, just let me tell the truth,

and let these folks know that I seen your love.

And it's everlasting, infinite, it goes on and on, you can't measure it.

Can't quench your love, they can't separate us from the love of God

there's no estimate.

My face look the same, my frame ain't rearranged,

but I'm changed; I promise I ain't the same.

Your love's so deep you suffered and took pain.

You died on the cross to give me a new name.

Ain't nothing like I've seen before, I got a beaming glow.

I was low, down, and dirty, but you cleaned me, Lord.

You adopted me, you keep rocking me.

I'mma tell the world and ain't nobody stopping me.

-Lecrae, Tell The World, from Gravity

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

-Albert Einstein

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival

-C.S. Lewis

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... now you tell me what you know.

-Groucho Marx

If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

-1 Corinthians 15: 19-26

Shame on you, shame on me

Lord He took all our shame and pain, and set men free

And I've got that fire on the mountain

Fire in my soul

It's been a long time coming, long time

And ready to go

I'm stepping out the door

Doing what feels right

Following my Lord, through the darkest night

And when the path gets narrow

I'll follow Him

And when the world comes down, around

I'll follow Him

He said sing it on the mountain

Or in the valley low

He's my God and He never let me go

He said sing it on the mountain

Or fight in valley low

Every man's going to see, and everyone will know

That peace runs deep in Him

I said peace runs deep in Him

Peace runs deep in Him.

-Josh Garrels, Train Song, from Over Oceans

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. 

-Aldous Huxley, Music at Night and Other Essays

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. 

-Mark Twain

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

-Dr. Seuss

3/8/2013

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 

-Romans 3:23-25 ESV

If I don't like the way my iPhone works, I don't hesitate: I search online. I can count on finding an answer. Not a way to make my iPhone work the way I'd like it to; rather, a Perfectly Reasonable Explanation of why Apple believes that the iPhone should work that way, and why it refuses to let me override the default behavior. 

If I don't like the way my Android works and I look online for solutions, I can usually find a way to change it. 

I encountered many--oh, wow, trust me on this: many--annoying quirks when I took the Galaxy S III for its first test spin. I gave those quirks a chance, buy by the end of the first week, I'd turned off almost all of them. And by the end of the first month, I had a phone that felt custom-fit to my personal likes and dislikes.
