Soaking in these downpours
That the land can drink in
The bounty,

Running streams make the most
Gentle trickling sounds
There is no healing until the
Water is absorbed. — Nicole Grace

Most of them are somewhere on the continuum between a minimally acceptable ethical life and a fully ethical life.

They prefer to focus on the good they are doing. Some of them are content to know they are doing something significant to make the world a better place. Many of them like to challenge themselves, to do a little better this year than last year. — Peter Singer

In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is. Faith for the Christian is the response of trust based on who Jesus Christ claimed to be, and it results in a life that brings both mind and heart in a commitment of love to Him. — Ravi Zacharias
