"I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

"The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).
"If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).
Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.
Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.
If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

Tragedy struck hard on 9/11. I visited ground zero once. It was very quiet (for NYC) and still. All you could see through the tall mesh fence was this vast dusty hole full of metal and concrete. On the fence through which we were looking were posted thousands of names; the names of those who were lost that tragic day. We said a short prayer and continued our walk. I will never forget my visit to ground zero.
I can't believe that it happened four years ago.. it seems like it was yesterday
what was his fault was the stupid war in iraq which has nothing to do with 9/11
@ myearth
why do you say that 9/11 was bush's fault?
i know in my school that was all we did that day, sit and watch the television. i remember wondering, how could the news ever stop reporting on this?
our country has been so blessed, this was only the second attack on our home soil after all. i think one of the most important things to learn out of this experience it shouldn't take a 9-11 for us to remember that. we should be acting thankful for it at all times, but more than often we forget. worse, we forget the God that has blessed us and sometimes even ignore it.
Myearth the amusing thing is clinton had a chance to take osama into custody and didnt. Theres enough i have against Bush right now, no need to make more stuff up.
i was also in school that too. The teachers were crying, also saying that something terrible has happened, but they wouldn't tell us what. After that they told us that some of our relatives might be involved,so that didn't make us very unafraid,it sort of made it worse, and they said we were going to church for a special mass for what had happened.
