Whatever Happened to "Patience is a Virtue"?

Campus Crusade initially seemed cult-y or brainwash-y or just plain ridiculous. They opened with a number of songs in a row played by a live band.

But the nervousness and tiredness and timidness that sat in my stomach slowly but completely faded when I just sat and really just let myself into the moment.

I see Christianity in fucking everything these days, and looking back on everything that's happened to me (everything that I remember that's significant, at least), I know that it's always been there.

It's a perfect way of living in a completely imperfect world full of completely imperfect people, myself obviously included.

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." - John Donne
