"This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called 'woman' for she was taken out of man.'" -- Adam

Nurse: "Do you drink alcohol?"

Me: "Yes."

Nurse: "How much?"

Me: "Enough that I've had to switch to a cheaper brand of whiskey because I was going through too much."

Nurse: "Do you think you have a problem?"

Me: "Yes, but it's not drinking."

Nurse: "What is it?"

Me: "Complete, utter, crushing, loneliness, regret, and despair."

Nurse: "You know, we have a counselor here. Do you think it would help to talk to her?"

Me: "What's she going to do? Be my girlfriend? Be my friend? Go out with me? Hang out at my house? Live with me?"

Nurse: "No."

Me: "Then I hardly think she can help."

"There was a flowing in upon me, from the barren years beyond, a dejection such as I had never conceived. It was not at all like the agonies I had endured before and have endured since. I did not weep or wring my hands. I was like water put into a bottle and left in a cellar: utterly motionless, never to be drunk, poured out, spilled, or shaken. The days were endless. The very shadows seemed nailed to the ground as if the sun no longer moved."

-- C.S. Lewis, Till we have Faces

"In becoming true, a man contributes to the world's becoming true. Moreover, if a man becomes true, he also becomes good, and likewise the world becomes good around him."

 -- Joseph Ratzinger

We are lost; we can never go home.

It's Still Christmas!

...I would like to remind everyone. Until January 6th. 12 days, remember? It's not just a song. And to keep you in the true Spirit, here's one of my favorite Christmas albums. 

And here's one for Carolina, because she says she feels Jesus when she listens to Michael Card. Although it may be over for us, may it never be over for you and Him.

Same Old Lang Syne

 

I don't know if you've ever experienced this; but sometimes you just find something...just the right thing, at just the right moment, for just the right mood...and it's like, in that moment, it's the most beautiful thing there is.

Who is This?

This is my only comment on the matter.
