"The moment you wake up each morning,

all your wishes and hopes for
the day rush at you like wild animals.

And the first job each
morning consists of shoving it all back;

in listening to that other voice,

taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger,
stronger, quieter life come flowing in." C.S. Lewis


"Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold,

if we crawl to the Word of God

and cry out for ears to hear,

the cold ashes will be lifted

and the tiny spark of life will be fanned.

For 'the law of the Lord is perfect,

reviving the soul.'" John Piper
