"Illustrious Brendar"

The practice of swearing on the Bible before taking the stand in court is only slightly more common than the practice of perjuring oneself there after. It cheapens the Bible to have someone who doesn’t value it devalue it by swearing on it and then lie. It cheapens the symbolic shininess of the 10 Commandments to have them aloft watching over the very systematic lawlessness of behavior of our Judiciary. It would be better, truer if you will, to leave the 10 Commandment out of it. It is people that are supposed to abide by divine law.

The Broken Covenant

“That happiness is to be attained through limitless acquisition is denied by every religion and philosophy known to humankind, but is preached incessantly by every American television set.”

on Gratitude

by Carter
(paraphrased)


"I dunno - I think that if you'd gone to New Orleans [before Katrina] you'd have found plenty of people who were thankful for those things. But now they don't have food, or clothing, or loved ones or homes. What are they thankful for now?

"If I'm gonna be thankful, I think I want it to be for something that can't be taken away."

If I Could Just Sit With You
by Mercy Me

when I cannot feel,
when my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel,
hidden in You

Lord, You are my life,
so I don't mind to die
just as long as I
am hidden in You

if I could just sit with You a while,
if You could just hold me
nothing can touch me though I'm wounded, though I die

if I could just sit with You a while,
I need You to hold me
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
