On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald
Image
Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.

Moderation is the basis of justice.
George MacDonald
Image
I learned that he that will be a hero will barely be a man that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work is sure of his manhood.
George MacDonald

All those evil doctrines about God that work misery and madness have their origin in the brains of the wise and prudent, not in the hearts of children.
George MacDonald
Image
