  • * Paradox

    Fear and love seldom stand, shoulder to shoulder; Its rare to laugh and lie in the same breath. But strength and weakness, failure and success, faith and desolation – they are different ends of a single stick.

  • You are Not the Problem

    “The central problem is not that You think too highly Of yourself. Nor is it that You think too lowly Of yourself. Instead, it is that You think constantly Of yourself.” Wu Hsin from The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin (This was long before John 3:30 and C.S. Lewis with their definition of humility.) Is…

    It was a sad and disappointing day when I discovered my Universal Remote Control did not, in fact, control the Universe. (Not even remotely) 😎
