Just to get you thinking.

There are just some of my favorite quotes I've come upon in reading and other things and thought I'd share with you.
(Totally random but just a shout out to my friend Kelly who got her license! Congrats!!!)


Miracles and laws of nature
Suppose and apple falls from a tree. That illustrates the law of gravity. The apple will simply fall to the ground. However, what if I reached out and caught the apple before it hit the ground? Am I overturning the law of gravity? Am I negating the law of gravity? No, not at all. All I'm doing is intervening. And that's simply what God does when he performs a miracle. He doesn't suspend natural laws that govern the world or overturn them; he simply chooses to intervene. If he can intervene to catch an apple before it hits the ground, then certainly God can intervene in a similar way to accomplish what he wants to accomplish. - J.P. Moreland, Philosopher

Big Bang
Suppose you suddenly hear a loud bang...and you ask me "What made that bang?" and I reply, "Nothing it just happened." You would not except that. - Kai Nielson, Philosopher


Look at a day when you are supremely
satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s when you had everything to do, and you've done it.
-Margaret Thatcher
" Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a perfectly preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting "holy crap what a ride!" -Uknown
