“Good things do come out of deep sorrow and great loss...at least in time.”
― Beverly Lewis

“One day when I was grieving my own losses after J.P.'s arrest, a package arrived...Opening the padded envelope, I discovered a pewter figurine. It was the form of a child pressing his entire body into a large hand that was big enough to provide shelter and comfort. The thumb of the hand touched the child's eyes, as if to say, "Why do you weep? I am here." ...during her most painful personal experience...she held on to the figurine because it reminded her of God's faithfulness in those times when she couldn't find her faith or her joy.”
― Carol Kent - Between a Rock a Grace Place

“Remember all men would be tyrants if they could - from a poem by Daniel Defoe, as written by Abigail to John Adams”
― David McCullough, John Adams

“The philosophy that with sufficient knowledge all could be explained held no appeal. All could not be explained, Adams had come to understand. Mystery was essential.”
― David McCullough, John Adams
