"As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motion of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn't go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection." --Wendell Berry, American farmer

God Meets Our Needs in Two Ways...
"God can meet our needs in two ways,
1. He can give us what we need; or
2. He can set us free from what we consider a need." --Hristo Kulichev, former persecuted Christian from Bulgaria
Hristo Kulichev shares how, in prison, God didn't give him more bread, though what they were given wasn't nearly enough. "But he set me free from the feeling of hunger. I always felt satisfied. I never felt hungry--and bread and salt turned out to be a delicious meal for me."
