Of Great Poets

Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.
Walt Whitman

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone.
Robert Frost

Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
Robert Frost

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Romans

7:18-25 I want to do what is right, but i cant. I want to do what is good, but i dont. I dont want to do what is wrong, but i do it anyway. ...I have discovered the principal of life- that when I want to do what is right, i inevitably to what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind...Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is Jesus Christ our Lord.


8:26-28 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we dont know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Fathere who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Max Lucado's 3:16

Thanks to Christ this earth can be the nearest you come to hell. But apart from Christ, this earth is the nearest you'll come to heaven.

C. S. Lewis - I willingly believe, that the damned are successful rebels in the ends; that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.
Awake, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.

John 5:25
