Theology & Joy!

Theological Epiphanies:

"Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, when he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again." -C.S. Lewis

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” -C.S. Lewis

"Judas betrayed his friend for 30 pieces of silver.  The rest of us do it for far less." -Marty Rubin

"When you learn how to sit at the table with your Judas, you'll start to understand the love of Jesus Christ." -Many

“Father, forgive them, For they do not know what they are doing, and they cast lots to divide his clothing.” -Luke 23:34

"The early stages of corruption may be behind lecterns, but the end stages is the devaluation, the dehumanization, the denigration, and ultimately the desensitization of your conscience of mind. I am absolutely convinced that the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidanek were ultimately prepared not in some Ministry or other in Berlin, but rather at the desks and lecture halls of nihilistic scientists and philosophers. You see ladies and gentlemen, the problem of evil is not so much that it's so pervasive and so strong out there, but the fact that it is so deep in your heart and mine" - Viktor Frankl

Motivation & Joy:

"If you're still in process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, The toys scattered about the house, The piles and piles of laundry that are waiting to be tackled.  Will disappear all too soon, and that you will, to your surprise, miss them profoundly.  - T.M.

"The Days are long, but the years are short" -Gretchen Rubin

“Some people bring happiness wherever they go, some people bring happiness whenever they go.” -Oscar Wilde

"Whatever you do today, do it with the confidence of a 4-year-old in a Batman T-shirt." - Many

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect” -Mark Twain

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” -Mark Twain

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou.

"Comparison is the thief of joy" -T. Roosevelt
