Who are these people, that they want to save the world and yet they are incapable of forming proper relationships with anybody? As GoodNews so eloquently puts it, it’s love this and love that, but of course it’s so easy to love someone you don’t know, whether it’s George Clooney or Monkey. Staying civil to someone with whom you’ve ever shared Christmas turkey – now there’s a miracle.

Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart,Suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose blooming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only shade,and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.Speaker: Wendell BerrySource: bird by birdPosted: 16 Aug 2009 at 12:44 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

“Charity is not developed entirely by our own power, even though our faithfulness is a necessary qualification to receive it. Rather, charity is 'bestowed’ upon the true followers of Christ (Moroni 7:48). The purpose of the endowment of charity is not merely to cause Christ’s followers to engage in charitable acts towards others, desirable as that is. The ultimate purpose is to transform HIS followers to BECOME LIKE HIM.”

I will not play at tug-o-war,
I’d rather play at hug-o-war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs.
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug.
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.Speaker: Shel SilversteinPosted: 20 Mar 2009 at 9:45 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment!
