assorted quotes
June 12, 2009I ran into these quotes earlier today (or tomorrow… whenever this post may actually get published). Most of them are by Mr. Foreman. Some by fictional characters, others not. I just hoped it might be some food for thought for people other than myself 
When you are dealing with adversity or the let downs that come across your path, but you also know that that’s where you’re supposed to be, then all the terrible things that come along have a place in it. As opposed to when you know you’re not where you’re supposed to be. Then, even the good things in life can seem meaningless.
—Foreman
You’ve just spent too much time running away to realize what you may be running toward
—Brother Campbell
Today is all that we will ever have in this life. If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed. The wise man seeks God int he now and brings both his regrets and fears before him.
—Foreman
There is much we cannot understand. But lack of comprehension neither negates nor eliminates it
—L’Engle
I think that’s what a relationship is…not figuring someone out, putting them in a box and calling that a friendship. But it’s a dance really, where you’re continually trying to figure somebody out and they’re continuing to learn who you are.
—Foreman
I absolutely LOVE Madeline L’Engle. Have you read A Wrinkle In Time? I think you’d really like it…
haha I’ve read it. I think it’s time for me to read it again… although I loved the book, I dont think I could comprehend all the nuggets L’Engle put into it [not a fan of what Disney did to it, though]. I also enjoyed its sequel “A Wind in the Door.”
Have you ever read “Walking on Water”? A very different approach than L’Engle’s fictional books, but very intriguing. I defintely recommend it.
