Merely to live, merely to exist - what sense is there to it? A fly also lives. So it may be asked what value is there to a human life… What does it mean to have to suffer so much if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye? …a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant.

This movie changed me… (Truly not exaggerating! I promise!)  

 

I lay there under the stars and thought of what a great responsibility it is to be human. I am a human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved. - Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz
