Boanerges

"A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

- Douglas Adams, author (1952 - 2001)

When you are down to nothing ...
God is up to something.

'Never frown, even when you are sad,
because you never know who is
falling in love with your smile. '

The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The
stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result
of our lack of holy desire.

-- A. W. Tozer

Who sits in solitude and is quiet has escaped from three wars:
hearing, speaking, seeing; yet against one thing shall he
continually battle: that is, his own heart.

with but one wing.

Who but the same God Who stands in the darker, fouler rooms of
our hearts and says, 'Yes, let the God of Heaven and Earth be
born here -- in THIS place.'
