| 5ace00c | Walsh was too full of his own--how shall I put it?--posthumous importance; too convinced that he should be seen almost as much a victim as his daughter, to confine himself to the truth. He would embellish things to put himself in the best possible light. | D.W. Buffa | ||
| a6dfb94 | No, no - you don't understand!" he sputtered, his face growing red not just with anger but with embarrassment, which seemed to make him angrier still. "Space is empty; it is a void in which the atoms move freely. There is no 'notbeing;' everything is in process of becoming. Everything is composed of atoms which are mobile and invisible, whirling in the void." "Then the void is a place within which this takes place, where all these invisible.. | D. W. Buffa | ||

| 89c01d9 | Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

I don't know her, but I have friends like her, friends who miss their lives as they stay glued to their phones, letting everyone know of every thought they have and every bite they eat.

| 736710d | she had wondered if any of his Christianity was true. Had it all been a cover? A way to network and look honest? Or had he truly loved Jesus, but found ways to compartmentalize the sin in his life as so many others did? | Terri Blackstock | ||

| 8144737 | It wouldn't be worth going on." The words caught in her throat, and tears sprang to her eyes. "I know it all sounds far-fetched. I've thought that too. That my mistakes ... and there are an awful lot of them ... couldn't possibly be erased clean. That Jesus couldn't possibly forgive them.

| 418c006 | The Lord sometimes uses sorrow in our lives to deepen us," Miss Lucy says. "This is one of those times." "Why do we have to be deep?" I wonder aloud.
