We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God we barely blossom on earth we fully flower in heaven.
I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.
Reading about nature is fine but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully he can learn more than what is in books for they speak with the voice of God.
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God to Christ and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening and cooking which I rarely do in London.
It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.
Someday in the distant cyborg future when our internal and external memories fully merge we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions.
Life is hopefully long so I don't know what the future will bring.
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
It is strange. I see all the privileges and greatness of the future. It already looks grand beautiful. Tell them I went lovingly trustfully peacefully.

It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women. Even when I started out on 'The Office' eight years ago we could write our male characters funny and flawed but not the women. And now thankfully it's completely different.
