| 5da73a4 | Through the infused power of His own Spirit, forgive like Christ forgave when He said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Translation: "They don't have a clue." | Beth Moore | ||
| 383dad4 | Humility is the earmark of God's genuine servant. | graciousness ministry | Beth Moore | |
| 8d0bb3b | I'm not saying everything else is unimportant. I'm just saying that I've learned to see everything else as optional. | Beth Moore | ||
| 3f5e792 | Do you not know that if you offer yourself to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey? Romans 6:16 | Beth Moore | ||
| f5a7c29 | The truth is, God uses change to change us. He doesn't use it to destroy us or to distract us but to coax us to the next level of character, experience, compassion, and destiny. | Beth Moore | ||
| c5bf008 | We stand in victory because of our God. Faith in faith is pointless. Faith in a living, active God moves mountains. | Beth Moore | ||
| b3ac9da | Make no mistake: Satan's specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God ("It's not fair!"), turn us on others ("It's their fault!"), or turn us on ourselves ("I'm so stupid!"), we won't turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we'll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy." | Beth Moore | ||
| c7b0ade | God doesn't work for us; we work for God. | Beth Moore | ||
| af5bb9e | Faith springs from understanding. It is a conviction that grows from understanding. | Nancy Freeman Patchen | ||
| 4f073e3 | incremental development can be disconcerting for teams and management who aren't used to it because it front-loads the stress in a project. | Steve Freeman | ||
| 66975d8 | But collecting mountains of data when our entire civilization was falling in shards around us ... ? When an unseen Enemy had leveled most of the cities? When every freeman's hand was set against education and knowledge and the gentry whom they held responsible for the disaster? | L.E. Modesitt Jr. | ||
| e519a35 | Bear, believe, hope, endure. May it be so in us. May it be so in me. | Emily P. Freeman | ||
| 676037b | Romans employed crucifixion on a wide scale--though it was always considered poor taste to discuss it in proper society. Crucifixion was strictly a punishment for criminals and slaves, being designed as much for torture and terror as killing. A condemned man would first be flogged to humiliate and weaken him, then forced to pick up a heavy wooden beam called a patibulum. When he had reached the prison yard or an out-of-the-way spot on the e.. | Philip Freeman | ||
| 27f57f4 | When you agree to help one person, you ultimately have to disappoint someone else; it's like a karmic law. | maddie-freeman still-point technology | Katie Kacvinsky | |
| 8624fc4 | The grieving, she knows, never ends, and all that remains is the miracle of love. And she holds onto that miracle as if to save her life. | Kris Radish | ||
| d9b65b4 | One Domain Vocabulary A class that uses terms from multiple domains might be violating context independence, unless it's part of a bridging layer. | Steve Freeman | ||
| 1b6bb5e | What if you began to see your art as something other than your idea? What if it was less lofty and more necessary to your daily rhythm? What if your art is part of a bigger picture, part of a daily grace God has in mind for someone else? | Emily P. Freeman | ||
| 0f7ad33 | How tragic it is that so much of the popular version of Christianity preaches a secularized message. It keeps God isolated, but popping in from time to time. It has lost the sense of the permeation of matter by divine Grace, the sacramental vision of reality; it insists that the Eucharist is just bread and wine, baptism is just a bath, and the world operates independently of God. It preaches a moralism of being "good," leading only to obses.. | Stephen Freeman | ||
| 69b53af | She knows she will remember these last moments with her Mother every single day for the rest of her own life. | Kris Radish | ||
| 0993ca4 | The waiting can drive us mad if we let it. It can become a merciless dictator, shoving us into shapes we aren't made for, shapes of worry and doubt and short tempers. But the waiting can also grow us, shape us from the inside out for sacred work. This is a kind of work that happens only in the secret place of abiding in the presence of Christ even in the midst of broken dreams and tired circumstance. | Emily P. Freeman | ||
| 0e20645 | Toward the end of Feynman's life, his conservative view of quantum science became unfashionable. The fashionable theorists reject his dualistic picture of nature, with the classical world and the quantum world existing side by side. They believe that only the quantum world is real, and the classical world must be explained as some kind of illusion arising out of quantum processes. They disagree about the way in which quantum laws should be .. | Freeman Dyson | ||
| 679d08e | How can we hope to catch all the configuration options in an entire system? At some level we can't, and this is at the heart of what professional testers do. | Steve Freeman | ||
| 72e115e | Jesus says his load is easy and his burden is light, but he doesn't say there isn't a load or a burden. | Emily P. Freeman | ||
| d60c247 | Sometimes all you can do is react (Kevin Freeman) | reaction | Katie Kacvinsky | |
| ec03a9b | I believe that we are here to some purpose, that the purpose has something to do with the future, and that it transcends altogether the limits of our present knowledge and understanding. If you like, you can call the transcendent purpose God. If it is God, it is a Socinian God, inherent in the universe and growing in power and knowledge as the universe unfolds. Our minds are not only expressions of its purpose but are also contributions to .. | John Buehrens | ||
| 16bb5f2 | You are designed to reflect the glory of God, and when you release the fullness of who you most deeply are, we will see God because we're finally seeing you. | Emily P. Freeman | ||
| ce69b1b | There are thousands of good reasons why magic doesn't rule the world. They're called witches and wizards, Magrat reflected, as she followed the other two back to the road. It was probably some wonderful organization on the part of Nature to protect itself. It saw to it that everyone with any magical talent was about as ready to cooperate as a she-bear with toothache, so all that dangerous power was safely dissipated as random bickering and .. | Terry Pratchett | ||
| 8fc6568 | With the news that he would soon be a daddy again, Steve seemed inspired to work even harder. Our zoo continued to get busier, and we had trouble coping with the large numbers. The biggest draw was the crocodiles. Crowds poured in for the croc shows, filling up all the grandstands. The place was packed. Steve came up with a monumental plan. He was a big fan of the Colosseum-type arenas of the Roman gladiator days. He sketched out his idea f.. | Terri Irwin | ||
| 2befce3 | Larger than life character; a couple of hundred years ago he would have been a pirate. "When in evil company, try to blend in" - that was one of his." | evil larger-than-life pirate | Garth Ennis | |
| 3718d15 | Folks love fantasy. Beasts the shit outta reality and day of the week. | folks reality shit | Garth Ennis | |
| fc63c48 | I rested my forehead on a grease spot I'd left on the window earlier. The airlines, I thought, must have custodians who clean the windows, or there'd be an inches-thick layer of goo on them from people like me. That thought was proof positive that I shouldn't be allowed to stay up for more than eighteen hours at a time. I have a bad habit of following every thought to its miserable, pathetic little end when I'm tired. I don't mean to. It's .. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| f9c1372 | By the time I could see again, the captain had announced the final descent into Seattle. Couldn't they find a less ominous phrase for it? I don't like flying as it is, even without the implication that before landing I might want to have all my worldly and spiritual affairs in order. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 3bb3f89 | We circled around and came in from the northwest." I lifted my wrist to show him the compass on my watch band, although I hoped that, being the pilot, he knew we'd approached from the northwest. "I was looking out the window. I saw a woman running down the street. There was a pack of dogs after her and a guy with a switchblade down the street in the direction she was running." "Ma'am," he said, still very patiently. I reached out and took a.. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 31c728b | You seriously think you got some kind of god after you?" Gary asked. Marie nodded. Gary turned to me. "I vote we drop her off at a loony bin and run for the hills." "Are you asking me to run away with you, Gary? After such a short, violent courtship?" | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 4f909f1 | I opened my eyes to find Gary and my mother sitting cross-legged up against a half-fallen wall, both of them laughing so hard they had tears running down their faces. My mother had Gary's forearm in one hand as she wheezed, "She didn't, she didn't!" and wiped tears away with the other, and Gary nodded so merrily it appeared his head would go bobbling off. It was so completely incongruous with the farewell I'd just experienced I just sat th.. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 63a7d62 | All thinking things fear. Sentience, perhaps, is facing that fear and conquering it rather than succumbing. A tiger will drown in a tar pit, but a man who can clear his thoughts may survive. | sentience strength | C.E. Murphy | |
| e676ee1 | In the past, my brain babbling at such length had meant there was something it either didn't want to think about--which things numbered in the dozens right now--or it was working out some extreme cleverness that would at any moment leap out and surprise me. Much to my dismay, nothing leapt out. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 362e2ae | But maybe, just maybe, I was who and where and what I needed to be. Maybe all the prices that had been paid were nothing more than part of high cost of living. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| e25e05f | My doctor, who happens to be my old college roommate, tells me the Parkinson's shouldn't affect my golf game at all, which really surprised me. His explanation was very interesting. He said I've never been able to putt and since it was impossible for my putting to get any worse, there was actually a chance it might improve. | Vince Flynn | ||
| 4498f78 | The father of communism, Karl Marx, famously predicted the "withering away of the state" once the proletarian revolution had achieved power and abolished private property. Left-wing revolutionaries from the nineteeth-century anarchists on thought it sufficient to destroy old power structures without giving serious thought to what would take their place. This tradition continues up through the present, with the suggestion by antiglobalizatio.. | Francis Fukuyama | ||
| 0a05e02 | In a sense, the business arrangement was a bit like a man leaving his wife for the woman he's been having an affair with. The fact that the same man decides to then cheat on the woman he originally cheated with should surprise no one, least of all the woman herself. | Vince Flynn | ||
| 5be7527 | Your flanks must always be protected and your center must be anchored with reinforcements. Supplies needed to be secured from raids and scouts needed to be deployed as aggressively as possible to discern the strength and position of the enemy. | Vince Flynn | ||
| 70d98cb | any form of government that required the repression, imprisonment, and execution of those who disagreed with it was certainly not a government of the people. | Vince Flynn | ||
| 167a5c5 | all getting sick of it." "I'm going to kick your ass!" Victor howled as he hopped from one foot to the other like a boxer. Rapp didn't say a word. He moved to the middle of the mat and motioned for Victor to join him. Victor started whooping and hollering as he danced circles around Rapp. He was throwing shadow punches and explaining in detail what he was going to do to Rapp, when suddenly one of the instructors reappeared in the doorway.
