Life's Eternal Beauty


"I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be.
I am not what I hope to be.
But still, I am not what I used to be.
And by the grace of God, I am what I am."
John Newton



"There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not
either show the wretchedness of man
or the mercy of God. One either sees
the powerlessness of man without God,
or the strength of man with God."
Blaise Pascal
