“Do the Pentecostals look back with shame as they remember when they dwelt across the theological tracks, but with the glory of the Lord in their midst? When they had a normal church life, which meant nights of prayers, followed by signs and wonders, and diverse miracles, and genuine gifts of the Holy Ghost? When they were not clock watchers, and their meetings lasted for hours, saturated with holy power? Have we no tears for these memories, or shame that our children know nothing of such power?” KnowsLooksChildrenRememberNightHoursChurchMemoriesPrayerWonderLordTearsHolyNormalGloryMiracleShameOur ChildrenMeetingsTrackGenuineGhostClockMidstDiverseRemember WhenHoly GhostTheologicalWatchersSaturatedSigns And WondersChurch Life Author:Leonard Ravenhill
“The very act of story-telling, of arranging memory and invention according to the structure of the narrative, is by definition holy. We tell stories because we can't help it. We tell stories because we love to entertain and hope to edify. We tell stories because they fill the silence death imposes. We tell stories because they save us.” HelpingStoriesMemoriesSilenceHolyStructureDefinitionsInventionNarrativeArranging Author:James Carroll
“My definition of learning is to remember what you are interested in. If you don't remember something, you haven't learned it, and you are never going to remember something unless you are interested in it. These words dance together. 'Interest' is another holy word and drives 'memory'. Combine them and you have learning.” IfsTogetherRememberInterestMemoriesHavensHolyDefinitionsRemember Something Author:Richard Saul Wurman

“We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls. We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love's light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.” IfsLoveSoulLightAgePainReligionMemoriesPleasureLonelinessHolyCostSightTrainBraveAncientDelightDareStrikesChainsTemplesLove LifeEcstasyShellsBe BraveExileOnly LoveTimidityAncient HistoryOld Memories Author:Maya Angelou
“Everyone had some defect, or body or of mind: he thought of all the people he had known (the whole world was like a sick house and there was no rhyme or reason in it), he saw a long procession, deformed in body, warped in mind, some with illness of the flesh, weak hearts or weak lungs, and some with illness of the spirit, languor of will, or craving for liquor. At that moment he felt a holy compassion for them all. …The words of the dying God crossed his memory: Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” PeopleKnowsWorldMindHeartLongReasonWholeMomentsBodySpiritHouseFeltMemoriesCompassionKnownSawsDyingHolyWeakSickForgivingIllnessFleshWhole WorldThat MomentRhymeDefectsLungsCravingLiquorProcession Author:W.

“Wine talks; ask anyone. The oracle at the street corner; the uninvited guest at the wedding feast; the holy fool. It ventriloquizes. It has a million voices. It unleashes the tongue, teasing out secrets you never meant to tell, secrets you never even knew. It shouts, rants, whispers. It speaks of great plans, tragic loves, and terrible betrayals. It screams with laughter. It chuckles softly to itself. It weeps in front of its own reflection. It revives summers long past and memories best forgotten. Every bottle a whiff of other times, other places, everyone...a humble miracle” LongPastAsksSpeakVoiceMemoriesSecretMillionsPlansStreetsFrontsFoolTerribleHolySummerLaughterReflectionMiracleWineForgottenCornersHumbleBetrayalTongueTragicBottlesScreamGuestsTeaseReviveOraclesRantStreet CornersChucklesUninvitedUninvited Guests Author:Joanne Harris
