For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.
Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.
I was always the class clown and got kicked out of class at least once a day for just being a goofball. Not suspended or anything, just sit outside and look at the tree on the bench. I got benched a lot. You keep one foot on the bench and try to get as far away as possible.

If I could have a superpower, I would choose the ability to make people's heart stop, if I just point at them.
What excites me is danger! I like to do daring things. I've bungee jumped three times. The only thing I haven't tried is skydiving.
Why don't you conceive of God as an ally who is coming, who has been approaching since time began, the one who will someday arrive, the fruit of a tree whose leaves we are?
