That's how winning is done!”

The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame."

Hey was just looking for the pic for the quote below when i stumbled onto your blog.

"And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
-Thomas Wayne, Batman Begins

I was just using this to prove a point from scripture:

Daniel 11:35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

I'm excited that you recommend reading 'memoirs of a geisha'. I loved the movie and I believe Jesus can make a terrible tragedy into a wonderful outcome.

Thanks for putting these things up on your blog.

PS: My sister loves Jane Austen and it kinda rubbed off on me too.
