yum...good words

"He who loves the coming of the Lord is not he who affirms it is far off, nor is it he who says it is near; but rather he who, whether it be far off or near, awaits it with sincere faith, steadfast hope and fervent love"

-Augustine


Learning about the "Desert Fathers" such as Antony of Egypt...awesome stuff. if you've never heard of them, look 'em up and get convicted like I was. Contemplative prayer rocks.
