Rest, Logan said. Both of you. His caressing gaze moved over his wife and infant daughter.I'll watch over you.Love me? Madeline asked with a faint smile, and yawned again.It used to be love. He brushed his lips over her closed eyelids. Now there's no word for it.You once told me that you thought love was a weakness.I was wrong, he whispered, kissing the corners of her mouth. I've discovered it's my onlystrength.Madeline fell asleep with a smile still on her lips, her hand curled around his.

The only other person I have fallen in love with that way is Jesus, and I hope that goes more smoothly. I hope I remember, when I'm bored with Him, and antsy, and sick of brushing my teeth next to the same god every morning, I hope I remember not to leave Him. I am not so worried that He will leave me. The Bible, after all, is full of stories about God sticking with His Bride, no matter how stiff-necked and prideful and unfaithful she may be.

It's odd, because I used to see pictures, on telly or wherever, of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well, now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isn't what you thought it was.

I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it's business as usual. I don't understand how they can't see that the world has changed in a fundamental way, that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars.

Elizabeth Warren

Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise.
