In the middle of the night Wakened by the wind Or was it something from my past Come to call again? It was the presence of the pain That I could not escape And it wrapped around my soul Like a ball and chain All of us have a heartache All of us have been stained All of us long for freedom But there's only One who can break This ball and chain (at South Mound Cemetery West Lawn Addition) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSE-IRuOasOfe_LJ4NQ9f7mIVg_kk3a26vEEY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

“So I commend the enjoyment of life,because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad.

"The true aim of the soul is not its own salvation; to make that the chief aim is to ensure its perdition; for it is to fix the soul on itself as centre. The true aim of the soul is to glorify God; in pursuing that aim it will attain to salvation unawares. No one who is convinced of his own salvation is as yet even safe, let alone 'saved'. Salvation is the state of him who has ceased to be interested whether he is saved or not, provided that what takes the place of that supreme self-interest is not a lower form of self-interest but the glory of God." —William Temple, Nature, Man and God (New York: Macmillan, 1934), pp. 390–91. https://www.giffordlectures.org/books/nature-man-and-god/lecture-xv-divine-grace-and-human-freedom https://www.instagram.com/p/CivQldNp-ll_jsc4JO76-KKE8IdFlhOq2JzmPI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Wizards are always troubled about the future. I do not like worrying about the future. I am not altogether on anybody’s side, because nobody is altogether on my side, if you understand me: nobody cares for the woods as I care for them, not even Elves nowadays. Still, I take more kindly to Elves than to others: it was the Elves that cured us of dumbness long ago, and that was a great gift that cannot be forgotten, though our ways have parted since.” — The Two Towers: Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.

God’s efficacious effervescent eternal essence in character, zeal, and fervor of faithfulness (insofar as one’s insufficient experience eludes) is inestimably, … ever so gracious, so good, so generous, so much greater — immeasurably more exceedingly abundantly far above all beyond whatever we could ask, think or even imagine “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” —2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2aU1TJ_pOUlWEI8TBbfb8k1J7lSuPbr_VcIE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eternal God, protector of all who put their trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Fill us with your mercy and your grace, that, with you to rule and guide, we may so use the good things of this present life that we do not neglect those of eternal worth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
