Harry Potter quote

My favorite line from the book, for no super-great reasons:

"Albus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew"

Random Thought

I wish teachers could see how much parents have already given them, by trusting their kids to them, that they would not take a salary. I wish parents could see how much more they can give their kids than just money by teaching them themselves, that they would not spend all their lives earning it.

Random Thought

There was a time when I thought I knew so much. I knew so little then. Now I know so much. I know so little.

 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know 

- 1 Cor 8:2 

So much to Accomplish!

I got up early one morning,
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
I didn’t have time to pray.

Troubles just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why doesn’t God help me?" I wondered.

He answered, "You didn’t ask."

I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"Why, child, you didn’t knock."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn’t show me.
He said, "You didn’t seek."

I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.

Agnosticism appeals to my brain, Christ to all my being and Atheism to nothing

Dependent on the Spirit

Did you say, my soul, that you now know the truth? Well done! But you are not even halfway there...  So now bend your knee, bow your head and pray that the Spirit would use it well.


"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth."
- John 16:13

Marbles and Candy

"A little boy had lots of pretty marbles.  But he was constantly eyeing his sister's bagful of candy.  One day he said to her, "If you give me all your candy, I'll give you all of my marbles."  She gave it much thought, and agreed to the trade.  He took all her candy and went back to his room to get his marbles.  But the more he admired them the more reluctant he became to give them all up.  So he hid the best of them under his pillow and took the rest to her.  That night, she slept soundly, while he tossed and turned restlessly, unable to sleep and thinking, "I wonder if she gave me all the candy?"
