Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?

Thoughts, observations and tales from the B-Side.
Catch Ya On The B-Side
I am the Creative Arts Pastor at Missiongathering Christian Church in San Diego, CA where I get to hang out with some of the most eclectic and amazing people I've ever known. I am obsessed with discovering what makes people (especially me) "tick." Things that make me smile: vinyl, originality of expression, honest art, writing music, sarcasm, my family, social justice, laughing at my own jokes, and deep theological questions with no real answer. Things that make me frown: being in a mall with no objective, selfishness, running out of gas and hollandaise sauce. These are my thoughts and observations on life, faith and the pursuit of Christ. By no means does what I write here reflect the thoughts and beliefs of Missiongathering or The Beautiful Rescue.

welcome back. again :) interesting quote... i wonder if it's true for most people. i just discovered tumblr .com, which i have thus far used exclusively to record "wise passages" from the books/websites that i encounter. i wonder if they will garner more attention on my tumblr since they are quoted...
For me, at least, it's because someone focuses so intently on such a small amount of the work on a whole. They do research into this small quote and it's author. There's a million more things coming at me than just the simple words that in a larger setting I would read right over. Sometimes there are phrases that stick out, but it's usually due to their ingenuity. Sometimes we read things just to say we've read them, instead of for what we may glean from them. - madeleine
