{"quotes":[{"text":"The Doktor was very vond, I mean fond of Vluffy, so he gave him a flame-proof doggie-jacket. It was dull grey, but it had a tartan pattern on it. Vluffy liked his doggie-jacket and wore it all the time. When things went ‘bang’ he could just roll over, dust himself off and quickly scamper off with the doggie jacket flapping on his back. So in short, Vluffy was a very happy little dog who spent a lot of his time hiding under furniture. But the point is that he’d had a lot of time. Much more than those who went (up in smoke) before him.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","and","back","doggie-jacket","flame-proof","furniture","grey","had","happy","he-d","hiding","him","his","it","little","of","of-time","off","over","roll","scamper","short","smoke","tartan","the","those","time","under","vluffy","vond","when","who"],"id":163,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"One of the most breathtaking concepts in all of Scripture is the revelation that God knows each of us personally and that we are in His mind both day and night. There is simply no way to comprehend the full implications of His love by the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is all-powerful and all-knowing, majestic and holy, from everlasting to everlasting. Why would He care about us—about our needs, our welfare, our fears? We have been discussing situations in which God doesn’t make sense. His concern for us mere mortals is the most inexplicable of all.","author":"James C.

He writes the most beautiful and compassionate descriptions of his patients and the human dramas they confront. In his book Letters to a Young Doctor, he said that most young people seem to be protected for a time by an imaginary membrane that shields them from horror. They walk in it every day but are hardly aware of its presence. As the immune system protects the human body from the unseen threat of harmful bacteria, so this mythical membrane guards them from life-threatening situations. Not every young person has this protection, of course, because children do die of cancer, congenital heart problems, and other disorders. But most of them are shielded—and don’t realize it. Then, as years roll by, one day it happens. Without warning, the membrane tears, and horror seeps into a person’s life or into the life of a loved one. It is at this moment that an unexpected theological crisis presents itself.","author":"James C.

Kaine wondered how he would meet Death. His ship was a mess, in every sense of the word. Systems were in disarray, damaged equipment malfunctioning, and control panels shattered by blaster-fire littered the decks. In the fighting, severe hull damage had caused parts of the ship to be sealed off. Dead bodies – or raw red chunks of them – lay everywhere. The corridors were dark where the lights had failed. His footsteps echoed eerily as he ran down them. He’d been on the run for what felt like days. He felt naked, his tattered, sweat-drenched tunic clinging to his body, especially under his breastplate. Fatigue had caused him to discard his body amour. It was of no realistic use anyway, and just made him hotter and sweatier, made stealthy movement more difficult – and weighed him down.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","and","anyway","armour","be","bodies","body","breastplate","chunks","control","corridors","damage","damaged","days","death","difficult","disarray","down","equipment","everywhere","failed","fatigue","fighting","for","had","he","his","his-body","how","hull","littered","made","malfunctioning","mess","naked","panels","ran","red","sealed-off","soon","sweatier","systems","tattered","the","the-decks","them","to","turn","what","wondered","word"],"id":48249,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"The thing that breaks the heart of God and makes him to cry out of frustration for his men and their whereabouts is when equity has been squeezed out of the public square.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["been","breaks","cry","equity","frustration","god","has","heart","him","his","is","makes","men","nd","out","public","square","squeezed","that","their","thing","when","whereabouts"],"id":73917,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"If a man does his best, what else is there?","author":"George S.
