“I live in LA so I worry my kids aren't that connected to Britain, I suppose I don't want them to become American kids. We try to get back three or four times a year. When they go to school they speak with a British-American accent but when they come home to us they go back to their British accent, so I can deal with that.” WantTryingYearsHomeKidsSchoolThreeSpeakWorryFourConnectedBritishBritainComing HomeGet BackAccents Author:Kevin McKidd
“I've learned from the past that it's important to recharge and get time in-between jobs, and if I can't get time in-between jobs then when I know I've got some time coming up at the end of a job, really try and take advantage of that. And do very mundane things at home and putter in the garden and spend time with family and make music and, you know, play with the dogs. Just get back to being me.” IfsKnowsTryingI CanImportantEndsPlayHomeJobsPastDogAdvantageGardenI've LearnedGet BackEnd TimesSpend TimeMundaneBeing Me Author:Guy Pearce
“It is only when we speak what is right that we stand a chance at night of being blown to bits in our homes. Can we call this a free country, when I am afraid to go to sleep in my own home in Mississippi?... I might not live two hours after I get back home, but I want to be a part of setting the Negro free in Mississippi.” WantTwoCountryHomeMightNightSpeakBitsHoursChanceMy OwnSleepSettingSettingsGet BackGoing To SleepBack HomeMississippiFree Country Author:Fannie Lou Hamer
“There is an art to grieving. To grieve well the loss of anyone or anything--a parent, a love, a child, an era, a home, a job--is a creative act. It takes attention and patience and courage. But many of us do not know how to grieve. We were never taught, and we don't see examples of full-bodied grieving around us. Our culture favors the fast-food model of mourning--get over it quick and get back to work; affix the bandage of "closure" and move on.” KnowsWellsChildrenArtHomeJobsMovingCultureParentLossAttentionKnow HowCreativeExampleTaughtModelsFavorsErasGrievingMourningOver ItGet BackGet OverFast FoodClosureBack To WorkBandages Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God... To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.” PeopleIfsMenSoulHomeWould BeFallFoundFeltHoursHellMen And WomenConsequenceWeakMercyEternityAll TimeGet BackDoomedRevivalSlippingPleadingRevival Prayer Author:Oswald J.
