“ Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed. ”
Luke 2:34-35
I found this book at Half Price Books, after which I quickly learned it is no longer in print. This is the book that preceded his others; in fact, it later became the book that would be redone into Through Painted Deserts.
I figured it wouldn’t take me long, and it’s been a while since I’ve read a book like this. And so I begin Donald Miller’s Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance.
What Have We Done?
Oh my soul! Oh my Jesus
Judas sold you for thirty; I’d have done it for less
Oh my soul! Oh my Savior
Peter denied you three times; I have denied you more
As the nails went in,
I was standing right there
And you breathed your last
I shook my head and I cried,
“Oh my God, what have we done?
We have destroyed your Son!
Oh my God, what have we done?
We have destroyed your Son!”
Oh my soul! Oh my Jesus
Judas sold you for thirty; I’d have done it for less
Oh my soul! Oh my Savior
Peter denied you three times; I have denied you more
And the blood ran down
I was standing right there
And the water poured
I shook my head and I cried,
“Oh my God! What have we done?
We have destroyed your Son!
Oh my God! What have we done?
We have destroyed your Son!”
“ There has never been a greater love than your Son,
No not one.
And there will never be a greater love,
No not one. ”
Brandon Heath, No Not One
man is inherently evil
- Jeremy Simmons:
- As German poet Franz Wichmeier once wrote, "Snow falls from the heavens pure. We cannot blame the snow for being soiled by the earth."
- Jeff Winger:
- My competitor likened people to pure, falling snow. I would respond, "There is none righteous; no, not one." Now, I realize Mr. Simmons' quote was from the great Franz Wichmeier. Mine was just from a simple, desert handyman.. named Jesus.
This book is seriously gripping.. I’m about 50 pages from the end and recommend it to anyone who is interested. It’s the most accurate and detailed account of April 20, 1999, a book that has been 10 years in the making with information, interviews, and extensive research of all attainable information, compiled into a fascinating record of the day and its implications. Dave Cullen, a reporter, writes with a non-biased, timely voice that well fits the moods of the students and families, putting readers into the story with a clear understanding. Columbine has been an eye-opening learning experience for me as I learn of things never released by the media; it will be a book to keep for the rest of my life.
religion's attempt to atone
- Religious man:
- I've got a hat on, and my knees are covered. Am I good?
- Christian:
- Nope, it's gonna take a little more than that to see eternal life
