"It's better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy. That life and growth and meaning can come only in the risk of obedience. The future-even if it's h ard-is better than nostalgia" - John Ortberg

Torry Conversation

What is beauty??
Brace yourself! Take cover! Run! Hide! :P
Everyone to the basements the bombs are about to be launched!
And I shall embrace the embers...

haha :D
I seem to have sent everyone to their bases.
Should I try to launch the great bomb, or is it too risky?

My dear launch it, it is scary but a "beautiful" bomb as well. :)

this was all online so that is why everyone has a different color. This is what happens when one brave soul tries to start a conversation about what true beauty is.

While I was in Santa Barbara for my sister's graduation, we helped my sister move some stuff out of her house. Most of the stuff was really heavy.

Auntie- "Should we help them?"

Katherine- "No!!! Don't interrupt!!! It's father-daughter bonding! Don't spoil it!!"

Speaking of politics...

In politics, absurdity is not a handicap.

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

Prayer

“It must be asserted that petitionary prayer only flourishes where there is a twofold belief: that God's name is hallowed too irregularly, his kingdom has come too little, and his will is done too infrequently; second, that God himself can change this situation.” David F. Wells
