We tend to think that refusing to exalt Christ is staying true to our self-will and personal freedom when really we are condemning ourselves. Sure, we can pretend to stay true to ourselves, but if you want to talk about reality, all of that is completely trivial if this life is an island and He's the only pilot with a plane and a flight plan.

It is not true that everyone is special. It is true that everyone was once special and still possesses the ability to recover it.

I think there is a song out there to describe just about any situation.

Yes, be different, but not for the vanities of being different.

Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.

Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner.

From recovery to rags and rags to recovery symbolizes art - a perfect compilation of human imperfections.
