“Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives.” IfsGivingFeelsMatterReasonJoyLinesOur LivesCrazyGratitudeAngelDirectThanksgivingThankfulBeing Thankful Book:Angel Days Source: Angel Days
“In a democracy it is ultimately for us, the citizens, to judge where to place the balance between security and privacy, safety and liberty. It's our lives and liberties that are threatened, not only by terrorism but also by massive depredations of our privacy in the name of counter-terrorism. If those companies from which governments actually take most of our intimate details want to show that they are still on the side of the angels, they had better join this struggle for transparency too.” IfsWantStillsShowsGovernmentNamesSidesCompanyLibertyStruggleDemocracyOur LivesSecurityJudgingBalanceCitizensAngelSafetyDetailsTerrorismIntimatePrivacyMassiveThreatenedTransparencyCounter Terrorism Author:Timothy Garton Ash

“We should, can and most of the time do communicate with God directly. To my knowledge, angels are not necessary for anything. But God's creation is abundant, and asking "Why angels?" would be like asking why there are thousands of varieties of trees or stars, when we could get along with so much less. God Himself told us many times that He was sending angels to love and care for us, so He is the one who brought them into our lives. Therefore, even if we don't understand their entire purpose, I vote that we pay attention to them.” IfsShouldWould BeCarePurposeStarsPayAttentionOur LivesTreeCreationAngelVoteAskingCommunicateVarietyPay AttentionGod's CreationLove And CareAsking Why Author:Joan Anderson

“Our lives are part of a unique adventure... Nevertheless, most of us think the world is 'normal' and are constantly hunting for something abnormal--like angels or Martians. But that is just because we don't realize the world is a mystery. As for myself, I felt completely different. I saw the world as an amazing dream. I was hunting for some kind of explanation of how everything fit together.” ThinkingWorldKindDifferentDreamTogetherFeltRealizingSawsOur LivesMysteryAdventureFitNormalUniqueAngelExplanationHuntingNeverthelessAbnormalMartians Book:The Solitaire Mystery Source: The Solitaire Mystery
