Vahel tuleb tunne...

Vahel tuleb tunne, et k6ik on nii ajutine. Peetri, Viljandi, Tartu, New York. Erinevad korterid ja kodud. Koolid. Inimesed. S6brad. Suhted. Pyydlused. Igatsused. Unistused. Kohustused.  Kevaded. Suved. Sygised. Ja talved. Hommikud ja 6htud. M6tted- head ja halvad. Isegi raamatud.
Lugesin Noel Brewer Yeatts'i raamatut "Awake", kus ta kirjutab: "Maybe the question is, can we even comprehend issues like AIDS and poverty? Do we fully grasp that more than one billion people in the world don't live like we do? Is our Sturbucks, iPhone, Twitter, Facebook, flat-screen TV, and all-you-can-eat buffet lifestyle just too far from the lives of the poor? "
Ja Jennie Allen oma raamatus "Anything": " We read books looing for it. We get married hoping for it. We have sex to find it. We climb ladders reaching for it. We have kids in search of it. We look for friends to give it. We spend way too much money at the Apple store trying to buy it. We check e-mails looking for it. And yet it seems to escape us. Joy, passion, love, and peace. Instead we seem marked by fear, insecurity, apathy, restlessness. Is it possilbe we have it all backward?". Autor j2tkab: " Joy comes from giving yourself entirely and unresevedly to God. Like ripping a Band-Aid off, giving in, yielding everything, and dying to this life and all we think we want in it /.../ Everything I was worried about didn't seem so important. Everything I was afraid of didn't seem that scary. Everything  I wanted before seemed trite. Everything I doubted about God seemed foolish..."
