"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.

That is a stunning pic!!!
goodness, i thought i was never going to make it through advent. i can't believe it's coming to its end.
sigh. i love the buildup to Christmas when it's done correctly (i.e. advent) and not in the way that makes you want to gag if you hear one more Christmas song on the radio.
Already the fourth sunday?
Wow.
@macho
I'll answer that for you...
definetly waitin fo christmas
Your ready for it but its not there yet. So much excitement, anticipation, snow (clears throat loudly) and just passing by the dressed up christmas tree, knowing that christmas is on its way
christmas day is dissapointing when its over the anticipation is everything
@id
i dunno, i'll take the new testament over the old, but that's just me.
