“Things can harden meaningfully in the moment of indecision”
“I've learned some thing about my heart.It can break.It can ripped apart.It can harden and freeze.It can stop. Completely.It can shatter in to million pieces.It can explode.It can die.The only thing that made it start beating again?The moment you open your eyes”
“Where there is a lack of other connections, of meaningful moments, in our lives, music can often fill the gap.”
“things which in my mind blossom will stumble beneath a clumsiest disguise appear capable of fragility and indecision”
“When God is here spoken of as hardening some of the children of men, it is not to be understood that God by any positive efficiency hardens any man's heart. There is no positive act in God, as though he put forth any power to harden the heart. To suppose any such thing would be to make God the immediate author of sin. God is said to harden men in two ways: by withholding the powerful influences of his Spirit, without which their hearts will remain hardened, and grow harder and harder; in this sense he hardens them, as he leaves them to hardness. And again, by ordering those things in his providence which, through the abuse of their corruption, become the occasion of their hardening. Thus God sends his word and ordinances to men which, by their abuse, prove an occasion of their hardening.”
“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.”
