Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else - Margaret Mead
“If you are looking for verses with which to support slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to abolish slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to oppress women, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to liberate or honor women, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to wage war, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to promote peace, you will find them. If you are looking for an outdated, irrelevant ancient text, you will find it. If you are looking for truth, believe me, you will find it.
This is why there are times when the most instructive question to bring to the text is not "what does it say?", but "what am I looking for?" I suspect Jesus knew this when he said, "ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened." If you want to do violence in this world, you will always find the weapons. If you want to heal, you will always find the balm.” - Rachel Held Evans (June 8, 1981-May 4, 2019)
“Life is a journey that must be travelled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” We always hear those around us tell us to focus on the goal. But the journey that leads us to our dreams is what helps bring the change in us. - Oliver Goldsmith
