Heaven and Music

February 21, 2010

The Yulang say that heaven is full of unheard music; I’ve always thought that Lemon was one of the few who could reach up and pluck it down from the spheres.

Louise Spiegler’s  The Amethyst Road p 181

GOD IS MYSTERIOUS

August 30, 2008

The following quote is taken from Emily Climbs p. 12 by Lucy Maude Montgomery. Her Aunt Elizabeth speaks first and Emily replies: 

“Well, God’s ways are very mysterious.”

“That’s why they are interesting,” I said.

 

I like this quote is because I Iove the fact that God is so mysterious; it does make life interesting and wonderful. I used to want to have everyting defined and understood, now I am glad it’s not.

HELPING THE FOOLISH VIRGINS

August 22, 2008

What is Mr Sampson saying?–oh, something about the wise virgins. I hate the wise virgins–I think they were horribly selfish. They might have given the poor foolish ones a little oil. I don’t believe Jesus meant to praise then any more than He meant to praise the unjust steward–I think He was just trying to warn foolish people that they must not be careless, and foolish, because if they were, prudent, selfish folks would never help them out. I wonder if it’s very wicked to feel that I’d rather be outside with the foolish ones trying to help and comfort them, than inside feasting with the wise ones. It would be more interesting, too.

p. 39  Emily Climbs Lucy Maude Montgomery
