God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
Some people think that prayer just means asking for things, and
if they fail to receive exactly what they asked for,
they think the whole thing is a fraud.
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar,
that when we see the image of indescribable and
unutterable desolation - of loneliness, of poverty and misery,
the end of all things, or their extreme - then rises in our mind the thought of God.
Wat good wil it n 4 man f he gains d whol wrld. yet forfiets his soul?
Jesus loves u, my friend. He died 4 u on d cross at Calvary...
make Him ur Savior Day.
He who has faith has...
an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence,
calmness, and assuring trust that all will come
out well - even though to the world it may appear
to come out most badly.
If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.
-Robert Green Ingersoll
