A Quote

The feeling that 'if nothing is happening, nothing is happening' is the prejudice of a superficial, dependent and hollow spirit, one that has succumbed to the age and can prove its own excellence only by the quality of pseudo-events it is constantly organizing, like a bee, to that end.

Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic

How I Do LOVE C.S. Lewis

This comes from his book "The Great Divorce". It's about the divorce between heaven and hell. But, it did make THGGM a bit nervous a decade or so ago when he saw it laying on the coffee table.

"That's what we all find when we reach this country. We've all been wrong! That's the great joke. There's no need to go on pretending one was right! After that we begin living."

More from Oswald Chambers

"We look for visions from heaven, and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us. If we will do the duty that lies nearest, we shall see Him."

Oswald Chambers on Poverty Triumphant

"Never reserve anything. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant."

Oswald is my favorite dead guy.

So True. So Very Very True.

"One sad thing about this world is that the acts that take the most out of you are usually the ones that other people will never know about." - Anne Tyler
