“The tragedy is that many of us are living desperate Christian life. Sunday comes and we get some strength, and then we lose some on Monday; a good deal is gone by Tuesday and we wonder whether we have anything left. On Wednesday it has all gone and then we exist. Or perhaps refreshment comes in some other way, some meeting we attend, some friends we meet. Now that is the old order of things, that is not the new. He puts a well within us. We are not always drawing from somewhere outside. The well, the spring, goes on springing up from within into everlasting life.” WayWellsChristianOrderLeftLosesDealsWonderGoneGoes OnSpringTragedyMeetingsDrawingChristian LifeDesperateSundayMondayEverlastingTuesdayWednesdayRefreshmentsEverlasting Life Author:Martyn

“The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses. Trusting one's hunches only seems gamble if one has time for seem; otherwise the brain goes on autopilot and trades the elite craft of analysis for the best rapid insights that float up from its danger files and ancient bag of tricks.” IfsMindDoeIdeasMomentsSeemsNextBrainWonderCreativityWorryFocusDangerInspireGoes OnTragedyTheaterSafetyTradeAncientInsightSensesTricksCraftsTriumphAnalysisBagsElitesFloatsRapidsParticlesFear Of DeathFilesGambleHunchesInspire CreativityFugueAutopilotTragedy And Triumph Author:Diane Ackerman
“It has long been a source of wonder to me why the leading criminological writers--men like Edmund Lester Pearson, H. B. Irving, Filson Young, Canon Brookes, William Bolitho, and Harold Eaton--have not devoted more space to the Greene tragedy; for here, surely, is one of the outstanding murder mysteries of modern times--a case practically unique in the annals of latter-day crime.” MenLongBookYoungSpaceWonderCasesMysteryModernCrimeSourceUniqueTragedyMurderLatterDevotedOutstandingModern TimesCanonLatter DaysMurder Mysteries Book:The Greene Murder Case Source: The Greene Murder Case

“One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit. The tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. We cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. Reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. By the word of God the world was created.” WorldUseTodaySpiritPrayerForgetWonderMysteryAwarenessBrokenEssentialsApproachMajorsToolsTragedyCrisisOur TimeOur WorldWord Of GodReverenceSensitivitySymptomsVesselWorld TodayPrerequisites Author:Abraham Joshua Heschel
