G.K. Chesterton
“what is the good of a man being honest in his worship of dishonesty?”
G.K. Chesterton, The Innocence of Father Brown

“a surprise or two hiding in everyone, and if you put them in a box, you’ll never get to see it.”
Philip Ulrich, Begin

Christie Purifoy
“During Advent, we prepare room in a new day for an old story. Through our attentive waiting, we participate in the story of the season and make it new again. And we are made new by it. We emerge at the other end of Advent’s tunnel, and we are not as we were when our journey began.”
Christie Purifoy, Roots and Sky: A Journey Home in Four Seasons

“I will be the stronger of the knowledge. In warning there is strength.”
Lew Wallace, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

Christie Purifoy
“It seems that we, like Jesus before us, will know trouble and displacement. We will be called away from so many great loves: love of family, love of our familiar fields. But we will also be tasked with the work of cultivating new homes and new fields and new relationships. We will wander. We will come home. But always we will follow.”
Christie Purifoy, Roots and Sky: A Journey Home in Four Seasons
