“What if life is unpredictable? What if people leave for no reason? What if losing is just another part of life? What if the universe can't be controlled? What if chaos is good? What if some questions can never be answered? What if that's okay?”
― Jessica Brody, The Chaos of Standing Still

“It’s just death and resurrection, over and over again, day after day, as God reaches down into our deepest graves and with the same power that raised Jesus from the dead wrests us from our pride, our apathy, our fear, our prejudice, our anger, our hurt, and our despair. Most days I don’t know which is harder for me to believe: that God reanimated the brain functions of a man three days dead, or that God can bring back to life all the beautiful things we have killed. Both seem pretty unlikely to me.”
