…if men and women would only trust, understand, and help one another as my children do, what a capital place the world would be!' and Mrs. Jo's eyes grew absent, as if she was looking at a new and charming state of society in which people lived as happily and innocently as her flock at Plumfield. ↗

But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob,  And He who formed you, O Israel,  Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;  I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;  And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,  Nor will the flame burn you.  For I am the LORD your God,  The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;  I have given Egypt as your ransom,  Cush and Seba in your place.  Since you are precious in My sight,  Since you are honored and I love you,  I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.  Do not fear, for I am with you;  I will bring your offspring from the east,  And gather you from the west.  I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'  And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'  Bring My sons from afar  And My daughters from the ends of the earth,  Everyone who is called by My name,  And whom I have created for My glory,  Whom I have formed, even whom I have made. ~Isaiah 43:1-7 ↗

Sometimes I wish I was in the movies...Not to be famous or nothing. I just wish I was made of light. Then nobody’d know me except for what they saw up on that screen. I’d just be light up on the silver screen, and not at all a man. ↗
