D -uuuuh

Frazzled but never forsaken

When through the deep waters I call you to go,
The rivers of woe shall not overflow;
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
And sanctify to you your deepest distress.


The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!


(Verse 4 and 7 of How Firm a Foundation)

Edmund Hill (in his introduction to Augustine's De Trintate)

The essence of evil

The essential component of evil is not the absence of a sense of sin or imperfection but the unwillingness to tolerate that sense.
