For since he never really lived,
they claimed he never died.
~ Unknown author

She left home one day
In a relative way
And returned home the previous night.

~Winston Churchill

# 29

God must greater than the greatest of human weaknesses, and indeed, the greatness of human skill. God must even transcend even our most remarkable to emulate nature in its absolute splendor.
How can any man or woman sin against such a greatness? How can one little carbon unit on earth of the backwaters of indeed the Milky Way - the boondocks - betray God Almighty? That is impossible. The height of arrogance is the height of control of those who create God in their own image.
~Ramtha (interviewed in 'What the Bleep Do We Know')

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel a change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not going to hold me down no more
No they're not going to hold me down
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith
Faith of the heart
~ from the theme song �Faith of the Heart� from the TV show �Star Trek Enterprise�
written by Diane Warren and sung by Russell Watson
