Quote of the Day -- L.R. Knost
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And
all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with
intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.

Quote of the Day -- Elizabeth Taylor
If
we do not alter with the times, the times yet alter us. We may stand
perfectly still, but our surroundings shift round and we are not in the
same relationship to them for long; just as a chameleon, matching
perfectly the greenness of a leaf, should know that the leaf will one
day fade.
