“Nick: "You look rather done in. Anything wrong?"
Drew shrugged. "Not really. The world's not a fit place to live in, but unfortunately there just aren't any other viable options."
"Cheery as always." Nick grinned. "I understand you've been up to London again. Presumably it wasn't to see the queen."
"No, I believe Tuesdays she does the ironing and isn't at home to visitors."
"Pity. All that way for nothing.”

“But faith is not belief in the history of Christ, as the godless think, but belief in the purpose of Christ’s incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. For he took on flesh, was crucified, and rose from the dead in order to justify all who would believe in him.”
― Philip Melanchthon, Commonplaces: Loci Communes 1521

“We forget sometimes that parents--even uncles--have lives of their own. Worlds of their own. Sides of themselves we never see and never dream are there. Even when someone describes those lives to us, we can't believe them. We know better.”

“I learned over a long period of trial and error to see in him what God made him to be. Wounded people use a lot of smoke and mirrors, they thrust the bitterness and rage out there like a shield. Then it becomes their banner, and finally, their weapon. But I stopped falling for the bitterness and rage. I didn’t stop knowing it was there—and there for a very good reason—but I stopped taking the bullet for it. With God’s help, I was able to start seeing through the smoke.”
― Jan Karon, In the Company of Others
