"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." II Peter 3:18

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” —Jane Austen

“Our God is a God of the unlikely. He uses unlikely people. He redeems unlikely situations. He goes to unlikely lengths for us.” —Caroline Harrington

God Uses Unlikely People

"Our modern-day world provides every convenience we could ever possibly imagine, and then some. Our gadgets allow us to watch almost every movie ever made from the convenience of our handheld devices while we wait at the airport boarding gate. We can answer email as we wait in the carpool line, and our offices are composed of a thirteen-inch screen that we can carry into the kitchen so we can keep working while we start dinner. We have automated so many features of our lives, and yet instead of spending that reserved time for something enjoyable or fulfilling, we fill it with longer to-do lists. Our workweeks are longer, not shorter, as was predicted half a century ago....There's something magical about doing nothing, and we don't do it often enough."―Tsh Oxenreider, Notes from a Blue Bike
