"The fate of an epoch that has eaten of the tree of knowledge is that it must...recognize that general views of life and the universe can never be the products of increasing empirical knowledge, and that the highest ideals, which move us most forcefully, are always formed only in the struggle with other ideals which are just as sacred to others as ours are to us."

“Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
John Muir
"Human beings look separate because you see them walking about separately. But then we are so made that we can see only the present moment. If we could see the past, then of course it would look different. For there was a time when every man was part of his mother, and (earlier still) part of his father as well, and when they were part of his grandparents. If you could see humanity spread out in time, as God sees it, it would look like one single growing thing--rather like a very complicated tree. Every individual would appear connected with every other."

“From this divine paternity...is derived that earthly paternity, which is something noble and excellent in the good Christian father, as patriarch gives his sons and daughters not only corporal life but heavenly blessings as did Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

We got our daughter a new set of "The Armor of God" from Christian Book - and God gave us the best afternoon sun for a fun photo shoot. She takes it so seriously ❤️
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."
"Life can be magnificent and overwhelming — that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live."
