Once you know yourself and realize that you are a byproduct of the King, once you realize that your existence is tied to Him, once you realize that you are nothing without Him, you then understand that in the middle of the day or in the darkest midnight - you can not only survive, you can triumph.","author":"Bobby F.

It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.","author":"Charles Dickens","tags":["babies","birth","clocks","coincidence","famous-beginnings","heroes","midnight"],"id":10731,"author_id":"Charles+Dickens"},{"text":"It waited for her.

We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it's important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Year's Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether we're aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, we're sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.","author":"Hillary DePiano","tags":["being-busy","busy","goals","holiday","life","magic","midnight","new-year","new-year-s","new-year-s-eve","new-year-s-resolutions","new-years","new-years-eve","resolutions","slowing-down","taking-stock","the-past","the-present","time","tomorrow","tradition","traditions","yesterday"],"id":21103,"author_id":"Hillary+DePiano"},{"text":"All human beings desire to be in a better space and a better place.
