“The ability of human beings to be creative depends fundamentally on the health and well-being of our biosphere, the few kilometres of air, water, and soil that surround our planet like the skin of an apple. Quite simply, they are the physical and spiritual bases of our lives, and the only source of materials and tools.” HumansWellsEarthSpiritualWaterHuman BeingsAbilityCreativeOur LivesAirPlanetsMaterialsSourceDependsToolsSkinsBasesWell BeingApplesSoilSurroundBe CreativeOur PlanetBiosphere Author:Freeman Patterson

“Dealing with adversity is like preparing for surgery. By putting our faith in what the doctor has said, we believe we will be better off if we have the surgery. But that does not make it any less painful. By submitting to the hand of a surgeon, we are saying that our ultimate goal is health, even at the cost of pain. Adversity is the same way. It is a means to an end. It is God's tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives.” IfsWayBelieveMeanDoeSaidEndsHandsPainSpiritualGoalCostToolsDoctorsUltimateAdversityPainfulSpiritual LifeSurgeryPreparingBetter OffAdvancementSurgeonsUltimate GoalMeans To An End Book:How to Handle Adversity Source: How to Handle Adversity
“There is a theology to gardening that few of us consider, but to understand this theology means relinquishing much control - our arsenal of books, techniques, tools, chemicals, fertilizers, fancy hybrids, and expectations. Yet, that is exactly what we must do if we are to fully embrace a more spiritual form of gardening. As a part of Nature we must learn to enter our garden as if it were truly sacred, we must learn to enter with humility.” IfsMeanBookSpiritualFormSpiritualityLearningHumilityExpectationsGardenToolsSacredEmbraceTechniqueTheologyFancyChemicalsGardeningArsenalHybridFertilizerRelinquishingRelinquishing Control Author:Christopher McDowell
“What takes its place is very dry education. And the tools that actually can teach you - singing and playing, learning how to participate with other people, spiritual richness - are replaced with a big emphasis on how to memorize things. That's such an incomplete education. Survival of the fittest used to mean being bigger and stronger.” PeopleMeanBigsSpiritualUsedTeachSurvivalSingingToolsBiggerStrongerDryReplacedEmphasisRichnessIncompleteSurvival Of The Fittest Author:Wynton Marsalis
