who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction
interfere with your own human rights?

The list goes on. You know, God has some really weird kids,
and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
- Bono

If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and the whispered "I love you."
