“God also appealed to nature as giving evidence of his wisdom and power. Although God may seem silent, some sign of him can still be found. Author Joseph Bayly expressed the truth this way: “Remember in the darkness what you have learned in the light.”
― Philip Yancey, The Bible Jesus Read

“Roe is just a capsule of fish concentrate. Those Icelanders would love it. I don’t know how you can eat salmon roe after you’ve seen the opening scene to the film Finding Nemo. The eggs are even orange like Nemo’s mom and siblings.”

“I have come to believe that the chief contribution Christians can make is to keep people from suffering for the wrong reasons. We can “honor” pain. In the most important sense, all pain is pain; it does not matter whether the pain comes from migraine headaches or strep throat or acute depression. The first step in helping a suffering person (or in accepting our own pain) is to acknowledge that pain is valid, and worthy of a sympathetic response. In this way, we can begin to ascribe meaning to pain.”
