“Sin = an undetected weakness + an unexpected temptation + an unprotected life”
― James Merritt, 52 Weeks Through the Psalms Devotional (Milano Softone): A One-Year Journey of Prayer and Praise

“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which,if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“THE RIGHT ORDER FOR EVERYTHING Any task, from filling out a spreadsheet to having a hard conversation, can be improved by following these three steps: Remember what matters. Calm the crazy. Trust yourself.”
― Kendra Adachi, The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done

“When the sin alarm goes off within us, God then invites us to come running to him—not from him—where we will find the comfort of repentance, confession, and blessed forgiveness.”
