One of Eric's favorite quotes is:""The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love." --Galatians 5:6
"To me, the goal is when you look in the mirror every day, you see a little less of yourself and a little more of Jesus." --Mica Mirides
"There are none so blind as those who will not see." --Jonathan Swift
"Nobody looks good up close." --Pastor Steve Davidson
"When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, He asked him, 'Do you WANT to get well?'" --John 5:6 (emphasis mine)
"We routinely disqualify testimony that would plead for extenuation. That is, we are so persuaded of the rightness of our judgment as to invalidate evidence that does not confirm us in it. Nothing that deserves to be called truth could ever be arrived by such means." --Marilynne Robinsons, "The Death of Adam", quoted in "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young
"Many that live deserve death. Some...Expand for more
that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." -- Gandalf, "The Fellowship of the Ring"
"...People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right." --Albus Dumbledore, quoted by Hermione Granger in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", p. 96
"...It’s in these moments I’m reminded of the truth. The only sure thing in this life is my relationship with Jesus. Everything else can change. Which makes my pursuit of Him so critically important. My greatest investment in this life is in my relationship with Jesus Christ. My greatest expression of that investment is my relationship with others." --Aron Strong
"Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody *knew* that the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody *knew* that the Earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago, you *knew* that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll *know* tomorrow." --Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, "Men In Black"
Mary: [voice-over] "Everything's mythical when you're seven-years-old: fathers, mothers, Santa, God, the alleged protective powers of a gold medallion. It's not that certain things seem larger than life, it's just life seems larger, but the world keeps spinning and in a tiny thousand surrenders, or sometimes in one fell swoop, what you'd seen as truly miracle you learn is merely myth. The good news, if you can call it that, is that ultimately you find other myths to believe in, and other men as well. You see the myth for what it is: close up and in its bones, smaller and greater and more like you than you care to admit, and it nevertheless leaves you, always, every single time, sitting foolish on the doorstep awaiting its return." --U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon, "In Plain Sight"
"Comparison is the mother of clarity." --apologist Stuart McAllister".
