“Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.” WorldLooksHomePainStarsWonderOur LivesPlanetsInfiniteChaosResistanceSaneOur PlanetEntropy Author:Jon Foreman
“I originated a remark many years ago that I think has been copied more than any little thing that I've ever said, and I used it in the follies of 1922. I said America has a unique record. We never lost a war and we never won a conference in our lives. I believe that we could without any degree of egotism, single-handed lick any nation in the world. But we can't confer with Costa Rica and come home with our shirts on.” ThinkingWorldYearsBelieveLittlesHas BeensSaidWarHomeAmericaUsedLostI BelieveNationsRecordsOur LivesDegreesUniqueYears AgoShirtsFollyComing HomeLittle ThingsConferencesCantRemarksEgotismCosta Rica Author:Will Rogers
“A lost sheep is, for all practical purposes a dead sheep. It is the admission that we are dead in our sins---that we have no power of ourselves either to save ourselves or to convince anyone else that we are worth saving. It is the recognition that our whole life is out of our hands and that if we ever live again, our life will be entirely the gift of some gracious shepherd. God finds us the desert of death (not in the garden of improvement) and in the power of Jesus' resurrection, he puts us on his shoulders rejoicing and brings us home.” IfsWholeHomeHandsLife IsPurposeJesusLostSinOur LivesGardenWhole LifeImprovementPracticalsShouldersSavingRecognitionDesertConvinceRejoiceResurrectionSheepGraciousShepherdsAdmissionJesus Resurrection Author:Robert Farrar Capon
“Faith is the backbone of the social and the foundation of the commercial fabric; remove faith between man and man, and society and commerce fall to pieces. There is not a happy home on earth but stands on faith; our heads are pillowed on it, we sleep at night in its arms with greater security for the safety of our lives, peace, and prosperity than bolts and bars can give.” MenGivingHomeEarthNightFaithFallSocialSleepGreaterPiecesOur LivesSecurityArmsSafetyFoundationProsperityBarsRemoveCommerceFabricBoltsBackboneHappy Home Author:Thomas Guthrie
“As a conservative who believes in limited government, I believe the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press. A free press ensures the flow of information to the public, and let me say, during a time when the role of government in our lives and in our enterprises seems to grow every day--both at home and abroad - ensuring the vitality of a free and independent press is more important than ever.” BelieveImportantRealHomeSeemsGovernmentI BelieveGrowsRolesOur LivesInformationFlowLet MeIndependentPressesConservativeChecksEnterpriseFreedom Of SpeechVitalityLimited GovernmentFree PressRole Of Government Author:Mike Pence
“Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around.

“For our family, the entire structure of our life, our home, our business relationships - the entire purpose is for everyone to be able to create in a way that makes them happy. Fame is almost an inconsequential by-product of what we're really trying to accomplish.

“when people go away, or when we leave the places we love, or something we treasure goes out of our life - I have always noticed that before it happens - this leaving, this parting - when we think about it beforehand we are overwhelmed with sadness at the loss to come. ... the most unbearable sense of loss, the worst homesickness of all, so I have found, is this loss and sickness we feel beforehand, before we ever leave home.” PeopleThinkingFeelsHomeHappensFoundLossOur LivesSadnessWorstLeavingTreasureSicknessGoing AwayOverwhelmedUnbearablePartingHomesicknessHis Loss Author:Nan Fairbrother
“This Western culture of ours tends to sacrifice the full range of experience to a lower common denominator that's acceptable to more people; we end up with McDonald's instead of real food, Holiday Inns instead of homes, and USA Today instead of news and cultural analysis.
