Stirring of Good

It was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirring of good. Gradually, it was disclosed to me that the line seperating good and evil passes, not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through all human hearts. So, bless you prison, for having been in my life. - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Acquiring Peace

We're only asking for trouble when we lead ourselves to believe that our internal agitation will subside once we get that place in the mountains or a quaint condo at the beach or a little larger boat or a little better job or a microwave for Christmas or a second TV or stereo upstairs or an original oil in the living room or a Shop Smith in the garage or ... or ... or .... It's not that owning any of that stuff is wrong-you know that-but when it's pursued in hopes of acquiring peace in the package, no way! - Chuck Swindoll
