They went so far as to attribute petty human emotions (anger, jealousy, etc) to it, not stopping to realize that if God were a being, even a supreme being, our prayers would have bored him to death long ago. Tom Robbins

The more we maintain an awareness of God's unchanging love, the safer and more at home we will feel in the world. Susan L. Taylor
