| aa81b20 | If we have to wait to see how we feel before we know if we can enjoy the day, then we are giving feelings control over us.

| 00386ba | Seeing the woman as she was made them remember the envy they had stored up from other times. so they chewed up the back parts of their minds and swallowed with relish.

| a65c6c4 | It's a strange thing, being the parent of a teenager. One thing to raise a little boy, another entirely when a person on the brink of adulthood looks to you for wisdom.

But I'm not one of them. The older I get, the less I understand. I love my son. He means everythin.. | Blake Crouch | ||

| d62274a | Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically; it is mainly about displaying the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his church.

Which means that bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God himself.
