''You catch shadows in the afterglow
and these streets only act as a slideshow
its the play of life
and you the acta
and its on to the next chapta
most things are distractions
the irony is life's abstractions
your only a result of yr direct actions
so be wise
cuz these dudes got snake eyes
with the stories they mythologize
women they terrorize
and weak lines they plagiarize
with the intentions disguised''

''Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life''
- Proverbs 13:12
''What happened to you was not your fault. You are not to blame. You did not deserve it. You did not ask for this. You should not be silenced. You are not worthless. You do not have to pretend like nothing happened. Nobody had the right to violate you. You are not responsible for what happened to you. You are not damaged goods. You were supposed to be treated with dignity and respect. You were the victim of assault and it was wrong. You were sinned against. Despite all the pain, healing can happen and there is hope''
- Rid of My Disgrace: Hope and Healing for Victims of Sexual Assault, Justin S. Holcomb and Lindsey A. Holcomb (2011)
''The Word of God (does not) provide for (or) sanction separation apart from the dissolution of the marriage bond. Divorce for adultery is by divine sanction; it is a divinely instituted provision for a certain situation and it dissolves the bond of marriage. But there is no such provision for mere separation. The divine institution is that those united in the bond of marriage are bound to the mutual discharge of all marital debts until the bond is severed by death or by dissolution on a proper ground''
- Divorce, John Murray (1974)

“The office of deacon tends to amalgamate ranks, to soften differences, to prevent or correct pernicious misapprehensions.” [It prevents in the deacon] “the growth of selfishness and worldliness, and exaggerated views of life, in an age peculiarly addicted to such evils, is the more important.”
- The Deaconship, John G Lorimer (1861)
“Decisions, by all accounts, including those of the participants, were made with little knowledge of, or concern for, the lands and peoples about which and whom the decisions were being made.”

''And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel''
- Isa 45:3
"Posing questions to God in the right way can actually be an act of reverence and worship because it demonstrates that you want to use the trial of your faith to grow in your understanding of Him"
- Putting Your Past in Its Place: Moving Forward in Freedom and Forgiveness, Stephen Viars (2011)
''One of two things causes a man to change his mind and reverse his plans: one is foresight to anticipate everything, or lack of foresight to execute them. But as God is both omniscient and omnipotent there is never any need for Him to reverse His decrees''
- A.W. Pink
''The fear of God is the soul of godliness''
- Principles of Conduct, John Murray (1978)
"For they who have suffered their minds to be blindfolded with the love of harlots, for the satisfying of their filthy lusts, run desperately, and as it were headlong into innumerable evils, having neither understanding to foresee them, nor will to prevent them''

“This formation of man from soft clay, and of woman from a hard bone, also illustrated why man was so much more easily reconcilable than woman.”
― Sketches of Jewish Social Life in the Days of Christ, Alfred Edersheim (1876)
“Was he really eager to let the warm room, comfortably furnished with pieces he had inherited, be turned into a cavern in which he would, of course, then be able to crawl about in all directions without disturbance, but at the same time with a quick and complete forgetting of his human past as well?”
― The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka (1915)
''The slave-holder never had a right to force a man into his service, or to retain him, without an equivalent. To sell him, there fore, is to tempt another to sin, and to dispose of that for money, to which he never had a right''
- Negro Slavery Unjustifiable, Alexander McLeod (1802)
“There was no heat in these buildings, partly because the earliest meetinghouses also served as powder magazines, and fires threatened to blow the entire congregation to smithereens. They were bitter cold in winter. Many tales were told of frozen communion bread, frostbitten fingers, baptisms performed with chunks of ice and entire congregations with chattering teeth that sounded like a field of crickets. It was a point of honor for the minister never to shorten a service merely because his audience was frozen. But sometimes the entire congregation would begin to stamp its feet to restore circulation until the biblical rebuke came crashing down upon them: “STAND STILL and consider the wonderous work of God.” Later generations built “nooning houses” or “sab-baday houses” near the church where the congregation could thaw out after the morning sermon and prepare for the long afternoon sermon to come. But unheated meetings remained a regional folkway for two hundred years.”

“I said I *liked* being half-educated; you were so much more *surprised* at everything when you were ignorant.”

In Memoriam (Luke Mitchell 5/21/1999 - 6/5/2026):
“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
