I find myself changing my entire lifestyle every three years or so, and I'm comfortable in being an outsider. I have grown up like that.
I've always wanted to be an actor, but I didn't know how to become one.
Heaven gives us friends to bless the present scene; Resumes them, to prepare us for the next.
A genuine faith lifts us above the bitterness of grief; a sense of Christ's living presence takes away all unbearable loneliness even when we are most alone.

My friends, let us try to follow the Saviour's steps; let us remember all day long what it is to be men; that it is to have every one whom we meet for our brother in the sight of God; that it is this, never to meet any one, however bad he may be, for whom we cannot say. "Christ died for that man, and Christ cares for him still. He is precious in God's eyes, and he shall be precious in mine also."
