Three things know a secret- First; the lady in a dream, The dog that barks no warning, And a maid that does not scream.
It’s critical that we know what we believe, no matter what we feel. . . that we know what is true, no matter what we see.
Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.

Another of the hard things about being in a war, grandchildren, is that although there are times of quiet when the fighting has stopped, you know you will soon be fighting again.

You also have time to worry about what will happen when you go into battle again.

I don't believe in God, but I do believe in that chaotic reality, and also this: that none of us knows anything about anything. Period.
