on things weak and foolish...

"the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. for ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things which are."
" may the right prevail."
this passage comes right out of one of my favorite childrens' books by Madeleine L'Engle, which is A Wrinkle in Time. i',m not sure if it has a sciptural basis, though. but if it does, i'd appreciate someone telling me.
just a few thoughts to keep my feet on the ground (and my heart and my mind in the right places) this holy week.

no, i can't write warm and fuzzy right now. i miss her too damn bad. and a lot has happened over the past few weeks that i can't even begin to think about how and where to start. how does one write about being born anew?
