“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns.”
– George Eliot
God in the everyday
If it isn’t possible to know the quickening presence of God in the everyday routine,one might as well ship religiosity off to a seminary library and leave it there. Either God is God of life, or God is on the reserve shelf, available and relevant only to a sanctified elite.
~Sara Wenger Shenk
patience and perseverance
Patience is doing nothing when you want to do something.
Perseverance is doing something when you feel like doing nothing.

true education
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Albert Einstein
working with God
“It is much easier to do something than to trust in God; we mistake panic for inspiration. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him. Am I quite sure that God will do what I cannot do?”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest June 1st
