Paul Wallis Quotes

Ik wil maar zeggen dat, als ik iets wil zeggen, het liever nu zeg dan dat ik het straks moet zeggen. Dit gezegd zijnde moet ik zeggen dat ik dat goed gezegd heb. Je moet het maar kunnen zeggen, zeg ik altijd maar! Ik heb gezegd! - Lambik

The white pastors who opposed the civil rights movement, and even those who ignored it, were indeed disobeying Paul’s theological proclamation that, in Christ, there is no Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female; but all are one in Christ Jesus.

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance. -Wallace Simpson

It was Grandma Holland from Rhode Island—my mother’s mother—who appeared for me finally at the classroom door. She and Mrs. Nelkin whispered together at the front of the room in a way that made me wonder if they knew each other. Then, in a sweeter voice than I was used to, Mrs. Nelkin told me I could go home. We didn’t go home, though. Grandma led me down the two flights of school stairs and out into a taxicab, which took us to St. Paul’s Cathedral. On the way there she told me my mother had had to go to a big hospital in Hartford because of “female trouble” and that my father had gone with her. Ma would be gone for at least two weeks and she, Grandma, would take care of me. There just wasn’t any baby anymore and that was that. We were having creamed dried beef for supper.

Though our main emphasis is intercession, a word may not be out of place here on the use of tongues in praise and thanksgiving. ‘If you bless with the Spirit . . . you may give thanks well enough’ (verses 16, 17). Paul’s restricting of the gift here is because of the presence of ‘the other man’ Who is not helped by an utterance he does not understand. In the solitude of one’s own devotions these restrictions no longer apply. Only God is present, and ‘one Who speaks in tongues speaks not to men but to God’ (verse 2). But is it not better to do it in your mother tongue and understand What you are saying? Not necessarily, or God would never have given this gift, nor would Paul have used it so much. Have we not known times when, in adoration of the Lord, we feel the inadequacy of our own language to express all that we feel in our hearts? The very language which is usually an indispensable channel of communication seems to become a barrier to communication. It is then that this gift comes to our aid, and the human spirit is released in an utterance of praise or thanksgiving that would not have been possible in our native tongue.

One such usage is the turtle module (which is also part of the standard library). To quote the Python docs: Turtle graphics is a popular way for introducing programming to kids. It was part of the original Logo programming language developed by Wally Feurzig and Seymour Papert in 1966. Programmers

Carl Sagan wrote, “Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring–not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.

Tolkien’s tales of the Hobbit. This was in honor of the new-found hominid’s small stature and enormous feet!

A hint is to be found in the annals of the Spanish Conquistadors in central and South America. They were careful to wipe out the long skulled people as they were recognized as royalty among the indigenous peoples.

The Pharaohs by contrast have headgear that accentuates or imitates the long Paracas shaped skull. It’s an unexplained association that even finds its echo in modern times with the Audrey Hepburn bun bespeaking elegance

Paul’s prediction about “the form of religion but denying the power” (2 Tim. 3:5) was being fulfilled.

There is nothing to suggest that true fasting involves abstaining from sleep. God may call us to do this for very short periods, such as giving up a night’s sleep. Paul speaks of “watchings” as distinct from “fastings” (2 Cor. 6:5; 11:27, KJV).

For more detail on this enigmatic kavod, we travel to the mountainous region of the Central Negev in the Levant, sometime in the C14th-13thBCE.

I said, “And who am I? How can I be your creation, your Father’s son, if the truth is that some other flesh and blood species had a hand in engineering me?” Jesus said, “Flesh gives birth to flesh. Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:6)

These were the Mesopotamian stories of Sky People, beings from the stars with names like Enlil, the Space Commander, Enki the Earth Commander, Namma, the primordial mother, Ninhursag the primordial nurse, and Qingu the involuntary donor whose DNA helped to genetically modify the first humans. These were powerful ones indeed.

counter-measure is to limit the lifespans of the now fertile human beings. When this fails to appease his concerns, Enlil pushes a decision through the council to cull the human population by means of a massive, genocidal flood.
