Uncertain Times Can Be Fertile Ground for Social Progress
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.
The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
- William Ellery Channing
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
- Leonard Cohen
If life were predictable
it would cease to be life,
and be without flavor.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Our Lives Expand in Uncertain Times.
If our world were as predictable as we believe it should be,
we would never be inspired to be creative or adventurous.
Let us give thanks that our world is designed to challenge us
and to bring out the best of the human spirit.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The only thing that makes life possible
is permanent, intolerable uncertainty;
not knowing what comes next.

God Permeates Everything
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person
walks in the woods and listens carefully,
he can learn more than what is in books,
for they speak with the voice of God.
- George Washington Carver
The experience of God,
or in any case the possibility of experiencing God,
is innate.
- Alice Walker
God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead,
and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
- William Ellery Channing
God known only through books pales in comparison
to God personally experienced in daily life.
Become aware of God permeating everything.
