"Love means to love that which is unloveable, or it is no virtue at all; forgiving means to pardon the unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all; faith means believing the unbelievable, or it is no virtue at all; and to hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all."
G.K. Chesterton

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it. -erwin lutzer

thanks for this. i live in houston and hope to come see yall at ecclesia on the 18th.
People are hurting everywhere. Generally when people are nasty or ugly it is because of pain or fear or shame. As "anonymous" doesn't know your heart, likely you don't know his/hers. I don't the person who left the comment, but I am sorry you were hurt. I hate when anyone is hurting. It's a flaw of mine. I deal with the "nasty" side of people a lot and I have never been more aware of their need for love too.
Your link frequently leads me back to "The Long Defeat." Isn't it strange how almost all your posts when filtered through that one post makes all this crap so much worth living. Get the kid back here. She's my favorite you know except our long lost plastic surgeon. Miss you guys. Hope to see Troy tomorrow, that is unless he's out running around with Anderson or one like him. Maybe even John
