Favorite Quote

"It comes down to this, at least for me. When there is not a beating heart to give to the Lord, you give what shreds you have. When there is not a willing spirit, you give a broken one. When there are no limbs and muscles and strength to exert, when there is only the feeling of death, then you give him a corpse. Then whatever is left after the dying, whatever by God's grace comes back - it is born of Him. And so the dying is a kind of birth, a second chance with a different kind of life. It is the kind of life that is lived after everything else is lost and there is nothing left to lose, which I suppose, is the kind of life we should have been living all along." - Wayne Mack, Facing Forward
