"If God has given [his people] such joy now, joy in their faith, in their hope, in love, in the truth of his scriptures, what kind of joy is he preparing for them at the end? If he feeds them like this on the journey, how will he feast them in their homeland?"--Augustine of Hippo

I need to finish that. Chesterton is kinda dry at first but he's witty and insightful.

Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'
The Words of Húrin and Morgoth, "The Children of Húrin" by J.R.R. Tolkien

What am I currently reading...hmm...well, right now, I'm getting caught up on my subbed tweb threads, and reading/working a pattern for "Ballerina Mouse" from the April 2012 issue of Crochet World.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I believe that God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind I will never die.

Finished Family Ties that Bind. Interesting stuff on how birth order, gender, your siblings and parents and their personalities affect how your personality develops.
Still not done Mounce's Greek, haven't had the chance. Starting on How to Stop the Pain by James B. Richards, about how to put up with pain without suffering. Should be interesting.Last edited by Teluog; June 6th 2012 at 03:23 AM.
