December 21st. Winter solstice. The darkest day of the year.
Every day of the fall has been getting darker towards today.
But tomorrow?
It starts getting lighter. In tiny tiny increments. But light is coming. It doesn't get any darker than today.
Light is coming.

“Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do."

STAND WITH OUR SISTERS. @Harvard has imposed a policy that punishes our sisters for simply belonging to a private, single-sex organization like ours. Students have the right to shape their own futures—it’s time to #standuptoharvard.
He shows much more of Himself to some people…not because He has favorites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind & character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.
Here’s a chance for an #okstate student + friend to watch this Saturday’s game w/Texas Tech in my suite at Boone Pickens Stadium! 1) Follow me on Twitter. 2) Tell me why I should choose you using #pickmeboone - cleverness earns bonus points! Will DM the winner by 3 pm Friday.
"It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing…the safest road to Hell is the gradual one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones…"

Watching a movie with the kids I babysit- “Kids should never get married!”
Me- “How old do you have to be to get married?”
Kids-“16! You get married when you turn 16!”
Guess I missed my mark y’all! 😜
“Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”
“That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.”
