A Mixed-breed Apple
A little mixed-breed apple,
half red, half yellow, tells this story.

To the extent that we are trapped by the overvaluing, idealizing tendency, we are not free fully to celebrate the limited but real goods of creation. Idolatry by definition is not an accurate assessment of creaturely goods, but an overvaluing of them so as to miss the richness of their actual, limited values. If I worship my tennis trophies, my Mondrian, my family tree, my Kawasaki, or my bank account, then I do not really receive those goods for what they actually are - limited, historical, and finite - goods which are vulnerable to being taken away by time and death.

All mockery fled that compelling face with its chiseled jaw and arrogant nose. "What's wrong?" What was wrong was that all of a sudden she realized that Lord Lyle posed a genuine threat. Something at her deepest level insisted that physically she was safe - perhaps his kindness to his horse and her dog, or that moment when he'd given her his coat despite being soaked and frozen himself - as far as she wanted to be. But how safe did she want to be? That was the niggling question she couldn't answer. — Anna Campbell

It was neither German nor Jew who ruled the ghetto - it was illusion. — Elie Wiesel

It is not by the obvious works of evil that Satan perverts the church, but by quiet displacement and unnoticed substitution. — E. M. Bounds
