There is no better screen
to block out the Spirit
than confidence in our own
than confidence in our own
intelligence.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Damien,
my name is Charlotte and I know some of your children. I met you once in the Covenant cafeteria, and then again when Lowen graduated. just want you to know that I enjoy your blog and would like to ask if I may link your blog on my blog?
www.lovercansee.blogspot.com.
Best to you and yours,
Charlotte Okie
charlotte, i would be honored to be linked to your blog. thank you so much for the encouragement.
Uncle Damien,
did Calvin really say that?
you've got google. check it for yourself.
I really like this quote. Although, I like almost all of your quotes, so that isn't saying anything. heh. But this one makes you think. I like that.
Why turn to google for good quotes when I've got you? I enjoy that statement of Calvin's immensely because it rings true and convicting, and directly conflicts with an assumption many of his detractors seem to hold about his presumptuous intellect-- these are usually the ones who haven't read him.
