Moment of Silence

I need to put my blog on hold right now for personal reasons. I am seriously going to miss the ever-thoughtful and rich conversation with you all. My blog should be up and running again in a few months time, so feel free to keep me in your feed reader and/or links, or ”follow me” on Twitter and I’ll update you there when my blog goes back online. Fair warning: I’m a terribly boring twitter person. I’m not witty. I’m not funny. And I so don’t get the concept of succinct.

In the meantime, I’d absolutely and unabashedly love your prayers for myself and my wiggly brood as I walk through a very difficult process. Thank you all for your understanding and consider yourselves missed!

Molly, I hope (and I’d pray, if I weren’t an atheist) that everything is ok for you all. I hope the kids are all good and you aren’t having any backlash from your neighbors over your blogging ways. I’ll think of you hunkered down in the far north and send you good thoughts.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

The Lord of the Rings

Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

“I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit.

Let us pray so much that we become Prayer. Let us laugh so much, O God, that we become Laughter. Let us sing so much that we become Song. Let us give so much that we become Gift. Amen.

A candle loses nothing of its light by lighting another candle. - Fr. James Keller

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair. --G.K. Chesterton

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion—several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn’t straight. --Mark Twain

I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. - Susan B. Anthony

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."
--The Lord of the Rings

"Isn't equality a son of a bitch to follow through on. Isn't Love thy neighbour" in the global village so inconvenient?" - Bono, U2

Rule 3: Try to breathe every few minutes or so.
Rule 4: It helps beyond words to plant bulbs in the dark of winter.
Rule 5: It is immoral to hit first."
- Anne Lamott
