Quote by Alan Heathcock

“Laws on killing, even God's demands, didn't allow for peace. Not always. There'd still be pain; missing that child would break her parents' hearts. But what Helen knew, what she'd seen in those woods, would be too much for them, for everybody.”

“We start life in a state of innocence, knowing nothing. Our journey is one of continuous learning, exploration, and even missteps. Through these experiences, we strive to gain wisdom and a deeper connection to something beyond the material world. This path may lead us to believe that true life begins after death, a time of fulfillment and true existence.”

“In Christian meditation, we reflect on Biblical truths and their relevance to our lives. We look to them to help open our hearts and minds so that we may welcome the Spirit's guidance in all of our thoughts, words, and deeds.”

“Our task is to announce in deed and word that the exile is over, to enact the symbols that speak of healing and forgiveness, to act body in God's world in the power of the Spirit. Luther's definition of sin was homo incurvatus in se, "humans turned in on themselves." Does the industry in which you find yourself foster or challenge that? You may not be able to change the way your discipline currently works, but that isn't necessarily your vocation. Your task is to find the symbolic ways of doing things differently, planting flags in hostile soil, setting up signposts that say there is a different way to be human. And when people are puzzled at what you are doing, find ways - fresh ways - of telling the story of the return of the human race from its exile, and use those stories as your explanation.”
