Quote by Ernest Bell

“The toiling majority have long realised the fraud. You do not find that real troubles give way to Christmas feasts; rather, you will notice that it is the feasts which have to give way where real troubles are present. Even in our limited experience we know many, and those not amongst the most oppressed, who sigh with relief when the season is over, and thank God that Christmas does come but once a year.”

“The true gospel stands in clear contrast to the false teachings that abound, calling sinners to repentance and faith in Christ's finished work. Those who propagate error face a grave accountability before God unless they turn from their ways. Genuine repentance would be marked by a willingness to abandon false doctrine, close down misleading ministries, and humbly submit to biblical authority. True transformation involves surrendering to the teachings of Scripture and aligning one's life with the truth of the Gospel. Without this radical change, their ministries remain a stumbling block to the flock and a discredit to the name of Christ. Only a return to sound doctrine and a life reflecting the fruit of repentance can restore integrity and honor to their witness.”

“Pick up a pinecone and count the spiral rows of scales. You may find eight spirals winding up to the left and 13 spirals winding up to the right, or 13 left and 21 right spirals, or other pairs of numbers. The striking fact is that these pairs of numbers are adjacent numbers in the famous Fibonacci series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... Here, each term is the sum of the previous two terms. The phenomenon is well known and called phyllotaxis. Many are the efforts of biologists to understand why pinecones, sunflowers, and many other plants exhibit this remarkable pattern. Organisms do the strangest things, but all these odd things need not reflect selection or historical accident. Some of the best efforts to understand phyllotaxis appeal to a form of self-organization. Paul Green, at Stanford, has argued persuasively that the Fibonacci series is just what one would expects as the simplest self-repeating pattern that can be generated by the particular growth processes in the growing tips of the tissues that form sunflowers, pinecones, and so forth. Like a snowflake and its sixfold symmetry, the pinecone and its phyllotaxis may be part of order for free”

“Someone once told me to always live for 5 am sunrises and 5 pm sunsets, where you'll see colors in the sky that usually don't belong. Live for the road trips and bike rides, with music in ears and wind in hair. Live for the days when you're surrounded by your favorite people who make you realize that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things.”

“When a story gets wedged in your head and refuses to go away, when it keeps coming back, again and again, despite your seeming inability to tell it, know this..the story has chosen you and You are ready, so tell it or it’ll haunt you to the end of your days. Characters too! They will find you, drop anchor and before you know, they will speak through you, shaping their own narrative, their own unique destiny. Let go and allow them. You have no option but to be a channel for them. This joy of surrender can only be felt… never truly explained.”
