“What I believe is so magnificent, so glorious, that it is beyond finite comprehension. To believe that the universe was created by a purposeful, benign Creator is one thing. To believe that this Creator took on human vesture, accepted death and mortality, was tempted, betrayed, broken, and all for love of us, defies reason. It is so wild that it terrifies some Christians who try to dogmatize their fear by lashing out at other Christians, because tidy Christianity with all answers given is easier than one which reaches out to the wild wonder of God's love, a love we don't even have to earn.” TryingBelieveHumansReasonChristianUniverseGivenI BelieveAnswersWonderChristianityOne ThingBrokenEasierCreatorAcceptedGloriousMortalityReach OutMagnificentFiniteBetrayedTemptedComprehensionGod's LoveBenignTidyLashing Out Author:Madeleine L'Engle
“To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted. Charismatic people don't doubt their ability to add value to a situation, so they move forward with their mission.” PeopleBelieveRealFeelingsMovingValuesTurnsGoalAbilityAnswersSituationDoubtProjectsOptimismWho You AreAddDetermineFollowingMissionsAcceptedMoving ForwardIngredientsCharismaticMissions In LifeReal Feelings Book:You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are Source: You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are
“Each such answer to the great question, invariably asserted by the followers of its propounder, if not by himself, to be complete and final, remains in high authority and esteem, it may be for one century, or it may be for twenty: but, as invariably, Time proves each reply to have been a mere approximation to the truth tolerable chiefly on account of the ignorance of those by whom it was accepted, and wholly intolerable when tested by the larger knowledge of their successors.” IfsMayHas BeensAnswersCenturyIgnoranceProveAuthorityAccountsTwentiesRemainsMereFinalsAcceptedEsteemFollowersTestedSuccessorsTolerableApproximation Book:The Major Prose of Thomas Henry Huxley Source: The Major Prose of Thomas Henry Huxley
