Sunsets

God is so amazing. One of my all time favorite things in life is the outdoors, especially sunsets and the Fall. Last semester I was driving back up to Houghton by myself, and the entire sky, as far as I could see, was a deep pink, orange, red and yellow, and the clouds were so defined and colored and, wow. I actually cried. Haha. And there is this one place at home that I just love. It is overlooking a hill, there is a barn, and it is just gorgeous. Makes me think of Maine too. I really miss it there. Anyways, time for class. I'm halfway done with the day.


"You called, you cried, you shattered my deafness. You sparkled, you blazed, you drove away my blindness. You shed your fragrance, I drew in my breath, and I pant for you. I tasted and now I hunger and thirst. You touched me, and now I burn with a longing for your peace." (Dangerous Wonder)


"How did we end up so comfortable with God? How did our awe of God get reduced to a lukewarm appreciation of God? How can we think of Jesus with out remembering His ground-shaking, thunder-crashing, stormy exit on the cross? Why aren't we continually catching our breath and saying, 'This is no ordinary God!'" (Dangerous Wonder)


"There is no normal life that is free from pain. I'm proud of you for the times you wrestled with your problems and discovered how much that it helped you grow." (Fred Rogers)
