Book cover for Blood Hollow (Cork O'Connor, #4)
“It would be easy if we all had visions, or if we all believed in those who did. My own feeling is that faith was never meant to be easy.”
Bill Peake
As a clergyman I know “faith was never meant to be easy.” If faith is a luxury liner - it is not faith! Faith is a lifeboat, always being swamped by our stormy seas!

“given the deteriorating state of life on earth, natural death places boundaries on the pain of a fallen world. Natural death places boundaries on the despair and futility of life in the context of the Fall. In the same way that the land placed boundaries on the chaos and despair of the deep (see Genesis 1), natural death places boundaries on the despair and futility of life in the context of the Fall. Could it be that in Genesis 3:22–24, God ushered natural death into the world as grace to humanity in a fallen world?”
Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

Louisa May Alcott
“Passers-by probably thought them a pair of harmless lunatics, for they entirely forgot to hail a bus, and strolled leisurely along, oblivious of deepening dusk and fog. Little they cared what anybody thought, for they were enjoying the happy hour that seldom comes but once in any life, the magical moment which bestows youth on the old, beauty on the plain, wealth on the poor, and gives human hearts a foretaste of heaven.”
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

William Kent Krueger
“I think the human heart’s a mystery only God knows the answer to.”
William Kent Krueger, The Devil's Bed

“General family systems theory says that anytime any one individual in the family is affected by something, it sends a ripple through the whole family.”1 This understanding of the family is seen at the heart of the biblical concept of shalom. Injustice to any part of creation affects the whole. Likewise, there is no peace for the whole unless there is peace for each part. So the wellness of each family member benefits the whole. The same is true across generations.”
Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

“At the heart of the very good news of the gospel is the reversal of the Fall. With that reversal, Jesus’s death and resurrection paved the way for patriarchy to be crushed. This made way for the full acknowledgment of the image of God in women and men.”
Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right
