Out of the Ordinary

It's all just a dream that You slowly reveal
And You promised You're making me Real

Now hope is the difference for all who believe
and hope gives me strength where I stand
The difference is coming alive in me
as all the days go by
How the time flies by

It's all just a dream that You slowly reveal
and I know that You're drawing me near
Isn't it right, and isn't it good
How Your love makes me Real

- Out of the Grey

Quotation for Friday, April 22, 2005:

No amount of falls will really undo us if we keep on picking ourselves up each time. We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children by the time we reach home, but the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, and the clean clothes in the airing cupboard. The only fatal thing is to lose one's temper and give it up. It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present in us: it is the very sign of His presence.

Quotation for April 11, 2005

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

The Problem of Pain

Life long friendship

An excerpt from "No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency,"

"You can go through life and make new friends every year - every month practically - but there is never any substitute for those friendships of childhood that survive into adult years. Those are the ones in which we are bound to one another with hoops of steel."

Sleeping Bear Dunes

I climbed the Sleeping Bear Dunes last weekend. You have to earn the view with a long, hard climb, but it's absolutely beautiful and worth the work.
