My Books (that deal with spiritual rubber meeting the road to reality) |
| To come to enjoy what you have not you must go by a way in which you enjoy not. To come to the knowledge you have not you must go by a way in which you know not. To come to the possession you have not you must go by a way in which you possess not. To come to what you are not you must go by a way in which you are not. (Saint John of the Cross) |

Some Quotes From the Story: Love is not attained by admiring it as an idea, concept, or virtue and striving for it that way. If you want to love you will find a way because you care for people in healthy ways. Abraham the father of faith was also given a promise, and after he received it, he left what was familiar and went out not knowing where he was going. Abandoning the well-trodden ruts of my diseased world-view or theology in which I had formerly taken pride, and trading it in for some mystery, humility, faith, hope, and love is what I was embarking on. [A] woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on...[Jesus’] head. (Mark 14:3) [I want to be like that alabaster jar] You will be right to depend on prophecy, take it as a lamp for lighting a way through the dark until dawn comes and the morning star rises in your mind. I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes–I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! (Book of Job) |
