“When fighting zombies, the only comfort one can have--if, indeed, it can be called a "comfort"--is knowing where the zombies are. "They are over there, and we are over here. When they come at us, we're going to shoot them down. That's how it's going to work. They're just zombies, and they're way over there. No way are we going to f*** this up." But when zombies then unexpectedly pop up behind you--Bam!--the whole battle plan's not so cut and dried, is it, Mr. Tough Guy?” IfsWayWholeGuyFightingBehindsKnowingCuttingPlansComfortBattleToughPopsGoing To WorkZombieBehind YouTough Guy Author:Scott Kenemore
“Every day His servants are dying modestly and peacefully--not a word of victory on their lips; but Christ's deep triumph in their hearts--watching the slow progress of their own decay, and yet so far emancipated from personal anxiety that they are still able to think and plan for others, not knowing that they are doing any great thing. They die, and the world hears nothing of them; and yet theirs was the completest victory. They came to the battle field, the field to which they had been looking forward all their lives, and the enemy was not to be found. There was no foe to fight with.” ThinkingWorldHeartStillsAbleDeathDiesFightingFoundChristEnemyKnowingProgressPlansDyingFieldsVictoryBattleAnxietyLipsGreat ThingsTriumphServantDecayNot KnowingFoeLooking ForwardSlow Progress Book:Sermons Preached at Brighton Source: Sermons Preached at Brighton

“Implementing parts of European constitution and leaving out others - without knowing where we're going - isn't an option. That would be detrimental to the overall balance, which is why we must embark on another comprehensive discussion of the issue once again.
