  With sudden passion languishing,
  Teaching barren moors to smile,
  Painting pictures mile on mile,
  Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths
  Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

• From Heaven I fall, though from earth I begin.
  No lady alive can show such a skin.
  I'm bright as an angel, and light as a feather,
  But heavy and dark, when you squeeze me together.
  Though candor and truth in my aspect I bear,
  Yet many poor creatures I help to insnare.
  Though so much of Heaven appears in my make,
  The foulest impressions I easily take.
  My parent and I produce one another,
  The mother the daughter, the daughter the mother.

  James Parton

• That’s the way it is with our Father in Heaven. When you became a son or a daughter, when you were adopted into His family, He opened up for you through His Son’s death on the cross a way of fellowship and relationship that makes it possible for you to bypass the temple and its animal sacrifices. You don’t have to talk to God through a priest. You can go right into the presence of God Almighty and He will hear you.

  David Jeremiah

• What I’d like to teach my daughter about self-image and self-esteem is that you’re beautiful on the inside and the outside, and not to get obsessed with pictures that are out there in magazines of skinny models.  I had an eating disorder in college and wanted to look like those models and be thin.  So I’ll probably share that experience with her and let her know that you’re beautiful just the way you are.
