The Ragamuffin Gospel

"When we laud life and blast abortionists, our credibility as Christian is questionable. On one hand we proclaim the love and anguish, the pain and joy that goes into fashioning a single child. We proclaim how precious each life is to God and should be to us. On the other hand, when it is the enemy that shrikes to heaven with his flesh in flames, we do not weep, we are not shamed; we call for more."

-Brennan Manning

Some Quotes

"Are those monks in your bedroom that I hear?" ~ Rebecca (yes they were by the way)

"I said to Sam, I said Sam, you want to win this case the only safe way is to prove God does not exist." "Hmm, that's easier said than done. I saw an article which said they'd soon be able to, apparently." "A science magazine was it?" "No Presbyterian monthly." ~ The Man Who Sued God ( a great movie if you don't mind beyond a ton of language)

"Anyone going to movies today looking for the next Harrison Ford had better have a high tolerance for disappointment. Ford shares a quality with Sam Jackson in that he... Read more’s cool without being cool. There’s nothing reserved or overly masculine about Indiana Jones or Han Solo. In both roles, Ford is frequently vexed, not immune to panic, and usually gets the worst of it in a fistfight. He is brains over brawn (or brains over blaster) at every turn, and he sells it in a way that no actor before or since has duplicated. I have almost completely lost hope that the next Harrison Ford will emerge in our lifetime."'
