Scribblings.
 | "The powers of this world that dominate us, sin
and fear and doubt, like the power of Rome before them, are
conquered and overturned. The power of death, which looms over all
human beings and shadows all that we do, is shattered." |

| "Had we nothing more of the Bible than this one verse,
it would be almost enough. It reminds us of the essential facts of the
Bible. God made the world and everything in it; time, no less than human
life, is finite. In fact, it may be the very finitude of life that makes
rejoicing imperative." |
