Jeske

“Even rest is fragile. I am afraid all the time. I am afraid of what has already happened. And of what could happen.”
― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“The irony of freedom is that it is harder to find hope and purpose. Now i must come to terms with the fact that anyone i marry won't know my parents. If i ever have children, they won't know their grandparents. It isn't just my own loss that hurts. It's the way it ripples out into the future.”
― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“You want to prove that the Bible is right? It is not done by self-fulfilling prophecies or by pointing to world events as prophecy fulfillment. That is not how you prove that the Bible is right. We prove that the Bible is right by radical obedience to the teachings of Jesus and by validating that Jesus' teachings actually do work and can make our world better. Let us love our enemies, forgive those who sin against us, feed the poor, care for the needy and oppressed, walk the extra mile, be inclusive not exclusive, turn the other cheek, and maybe then the world will start taking us seriously and believe our Bible!”
― Munther Isaac, The Other Side of the Wall: A Palestinian Christian Narrative of Lament and Hope

“But a diagnosis is not a cure. I don't know what to do with Eric's voice now, the remembered syllables, the hope.”
