President Trump on the state of his beloved #Giants:
“Look, I like Daboll, nice guy - but you can’t have a Canadian running the New York Giants, okay? It’s an American job.”
The pursuit of beauty is therefore not incidental to the Christian life; it is essential. It cultivates the wisdom to perceive how the ugliest parts of our story fit into the beautiful, redemptive plan of God.
A good name is better than a good ointment,
And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.
It is better to go to a house of mourning
Than to go to a house of feasting,
Because that is the end of every man,
And the living takes it to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter,
For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning,
While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.” (Eccl. 7:1-4)
“When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” (Prov. 10:19)
@D_B_Harrison “There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?”
Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
