Favorite quote: '"What is REAL? asked the Rabbit
one day... "Does it mean having things that buzz inside
you and a stick-out handle?" "REAL isn't how you are
made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens
to you... It takes a long time... Generally, by the
time you are REAL, most of your hair has been loved
off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the
joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter
at all, because once you are REAL, you can't be ugly,
except to people who don't understand"' -From The
Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Williams
Favorite Scripture: My little children, these things
I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone
sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for
our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole
world. I John 2:1-2 |
