We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big
difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over
time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
-Marian Wright Edelman
"It helps,
now and then, to step back and take a long view. The Kingdom is not
only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in
our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is
God’s work. ... We may never see the end results, but that is the
difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers,
not master builders; ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a
future that is not our own."
-Bishop Ken Untener, Saginaw, Michigan
BUCKNACKT'S SORDID TAWDRY BLOG We should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate, bier or wein in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"
