The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then?
I cannot say.
- J. R. R. Tolkien

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."

"I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it." ~Harry S. Truman

Faith isn't Faith until it's all you're holding onto

Venturing out to the edge … of the precipice
Staring into the Grand Canyon of Papa’s love,
Letting the wind blow in your face the freshness of a breeze whose scents you’ve only barely tasted before
You take the risk …it’s time…
You take the step …it’s time…
You plunge…and suddenly…
You are flying…

~ William P Young
