Sometimes, my bag just becomes a collection of random objects of things I stuff in their for laziness' sake. These are what I found today in my black bag that I don't think I've used since early last semester, which makes sense because of what I found::
The Shack Quotes
These are the quotes from the book. Not actually from the body, but the ones that WM. Paul Young put in before each chapter began. I really enjoyed this book.
◆Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown. -Author Unknown [chp 8]
◆Faith never knows where it is being led, but it knows and loves the One who is leading. - Oswald Chambers [chp 18]
◆You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you. - Frederick Buechner, Telling the Truth [chp 15]
◆Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. - Thomas Moore, "Come Ye Disconsolate" [chp 17]
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal [chp 12]
◆God is a verb. - Buckminster Fuller [chp 14]
◆Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets. - Paul Tournier [chp 2]
◆No matter what God's power may be, the first aspect of God is never that of the absolute Master, the Almighty. It is that of the God who puts himself on our human level and limits himself. - Jacques Ellul, Anarchy and Christianity [chp 6]
◆Let's pray that the human race never escapes the Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere. - C.S. Lewis [chp 7]
◆Oh my soul... be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions. - T.S. Eliot [chp 11]
◆We routinely disqualify testimony that would plead for extenuation. That is, we are so persuaded of the rightness of our judgment as to invalidate evidence that does not confirm us in it. Nothing that deserves to be called truth could ever be arrived at by such means. - Marilynne Robinson, The Death of Adam [chp. 5]
◆Even should we find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever. - Henry Van Dyke [chp 9]
◆An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others. - A.W. Tozer [chp 16]
◆Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau [chp 13]
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. - Albert Einstein [chp 11]
◆The soul is healed by being with children. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky [chp 3]
◆Sadness is a wall between two gardens. - Kahlil Gibran [chp 4]
◆New world- big horizon. Open your eyes and see it's true. New world- across the frightening waves of blue. - David Wilcox [chp 10]
◆One abolish the God and the government becomes the God. - G.K. Chesterton [chp 12]
◆Two roads diverged in the middle of my life, I heard a wise man say. I took the road less traveled by and that's made the difference every night and every day - Larry Norman (with apologies to Robert Frost) [chp 1]
