Some quotes from recent reading that have struck a chord with me:
"It is pride - not love - that fears dependence and worships transcendence."
-Arthur McGill, Suffering: A Test of Theological Method
"Castrophe spreads and mercy contracts." (An Arab proverb about resolving tribal conflict)
On being intentional about confronting injustice: "Our circumstances require a stronger response, and we are too caught up in the swirl of our lives to devise one."
-Dorothy C. Bass, Practicing Our Faith
"Drudgery is one of the finest tests to determine the genuineness of our character. Drudgery is work that is far removed from anything we think of as ideal work. It is the utterly hard, menial, tiresome and dirty work."
- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
"Foolish love, in fact, may be all we ever know of the love of God on earth and, in the end, it will be everything that each of us needs."
-Joan Chittister, There is a Season
