Man, Atlas is so hot.
"She knew--by the way he looked at her, by an instant's drop of his eyelids closing his eyes, by the brief pull of his head striving to lean back and resist, by the faint, half-smiling, half-helpless relaxation of his lips, by the sudden harshness of his arms as he seized her--that it was involuntary, that he had not intended it, and that it was irresistably right for both of them."

(From Kenneth's away message. Thank you, Kenneth.)
The following is from Billy Grahm. Especially during this time of year, remember that this is the essence of Christianity:
"Humility is putting down pride. Smash pride, step on it, crush it, mash it, break it, and above all, expose it--not in the other fellow but in yourself.
"You can break down and thresh out and destroy every mountain of self and every obstacle in your way, if you will just be a worm. Deny yourself if you want to be a worm. To deny self is to disown self.
"Christ who was and is our example was the personification of humility. He came to demonstrate humility to us. And we get the secret of His success and victory when we hear Him cry out in Psalm 22:6, 'But I am a worm and no man.' In other words, Christ took the attitude of a worm.
"A worm is perfectly helpless. It has no strength to fight or protect itself from danger. Whether food for birds or to be trampled underfoot by man, it resigns itself to sacrifice; but a worm is always busy. Hidden away out of sight, it gets little credit for what it does, yet it is the greatest blessing to plant life in the world. It lives entirely for others. A worm is of the earth earthly but it plows its way through the darkness, it feeds and thrives and grows fat on the very earth that brings such trials and heartaches to others.
"I beg of you, Christians, learn the lesson of the worm and humble yourself before God."

"I'm still waiting for a judge or anyone to show me anywhere in the Constitution where there's a separation of church and state," he said. "We didn't lose; we were robbed."
...
wtf?

Ah, a study that proves me right. Again.
"Most undergraduates leave college still inclined to approach unstructured ''real life" problems with a form of primitive relativism, believing that there are no firm grounds for preferring one conclusion over another." -- no shit, sherlock. what do you expect when that's what the classes TEACH?
