Overheard.

Words of Wisdom I overheard today:

"It's only if we're willing to risk believing that somehow, despite all of the troubles and the warts of the church, that somehow it still remains essential in God's plan for redemption that you will be convinced to dream, to imagine, not just by yourself but together with others who also believe, that the church is still essential, that there's no plan B."

Words I Wish I Wrote

When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.
~Lewis Carroll

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted. ~George Kneller
