This Christianity is not a cultural thing. It is not something that should be just a small part of your life; it is not something that you do on Sunday. . . Christianity is not about you being just like the world all the time and then coming to church on Sunday. If that is your Christianity. . . you are not Christian.
I think all of our human Experience shows that no one with absolute power can be trusted to give it up even in part
Meek wifehood is no part of my profession; I am your friend, but never your possession.

Not only is hair a part of the body, but because it continues to grow for a time after death, it was considered a symbol of life and spiritual power. Likewise, hair to me is an element of mystery and an intriguing subject that rouses my imagination.
Part of my job is to help other kids find books, because not everyone has a keenly organized mind. Some kids could wander the library for hours and still have no idea how to find anything. For them, the Dewey Decimal System might as well be advanced calculus.
