City of Rebirth (Psalm 87)

“Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He, Whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.”

— John Newton, Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

“When men say that they miss combat, it’s not that they actually miss getting shot at—you’d have to be deranged—it’s that they miss being in a world where everything is important and nothing is taken for granted.” — Sebastian Junger

“The antidote to exhaustion is not rest but wholeheartedness.” — David Whyte

“For serving God concerns the Frame of our Spirits, in the whole Course of our Lives; in every occasion we have, in which we may shew our Love to his Law.” — William Penn
