jokes, jeans & Jesus

"It's terribly, terribly important. Recording what we've done, in words, on paper, it's got to be our way of telling ourselves that we mean something, that we matter. That the things we've done have made a difference. I don't know how big a difference, but a difference"~John Marsden ~Tomorrow, When the War Began

There are two things a person should never be angry at: what they can help, and what they cannot.
– Plato
If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires" -Abigal Van Buren
When we have a vision of what we want to become our desire and our power to act increase enormously. -Dallin H Oaks
What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ...
—Søren Kierkegaard
"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." e.e. cummings
All that is gold does not glitter; all those that wander are not lost. ~J.R.R. Tolkien

are you reading this?

"Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything. Creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild."
