At first I am overwhelmed, and all my little happinesses look like broken toys. Then, slowly and reluctantly, bit by bit, I try to bring myself into the frame of mind that I should be in at all times. I remind myself that all these toys were never intended to possess my heart, that my true good is in another world, and my only real treasure is Christ.

The earliest writings that survive are the letters of Paul of Tarsus, written 20-30 years after the dates given for Jesus's death. Paul was not a companion of Jesus, nor does he ever claim to have seen Jesus before his death."

Resources exist when the human mind sees how to use something. To say we are running out of resources is like saying we are running out of brain cells."

I have many opportunities because I'm American. I can travel freely through the world, I can start projects, but that's called privilege, not democracy."
