"People
often ask physicians how we handle the emotional stress of dealing with
ill children. What are our defense mechanisms? Do we practice a cool
detachment? Do we shut off our emotions completely? Or do we go home at
the end of the day and sob over a reheated dinner? ...The truth is that
we are trained to do a job: recognize a problem, come up with a
solution and execute that plan. Our ability to actually do something
protects us from what you might expect would be a chronic depressive
state. We feed off the satisfaction of being able to help and we know
that things would be worse if we didn't or couldn't, do anything. For
that reason, the experience of taking care of sick kids is much
different from a hopeless walk through a pediatric ward as a visitor." -

Misc. Quotes for Thursday, September 29, 2016
"We believe in God in 3 persons, blessed Trinity. God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. This is the essential truth. There
is no gospel without it." - Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones (1899-1981)
"It's a racket. It has nothing to do with being a lawyer. Find em, sign em, settle em, take the money and run." - John Grisham
"To the question, 'should one preach doctrine?' the Puritan answer would have been, 'Why? What else is there to preach?' Puritan preachers were not afraid to bring the profoundest theology into the pulpit if it bore on their hearers salvation...doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrite; but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep. The preacher's job is to proclaim the faith, not to provide entertainment for unbelievers. In other words, to feed the sheep and not amuse the goats." - Dr. J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness: A Puritan View of the Christian Life
"I never got a chance, of course, to cross-examine him. And I didn't want to anymore. I just wanted to talk to him, to make sure he knew he hadn't fooled all of us, and that his 'Dream Team' hadn't fooled most Americans. I wanted to tell him that there was another court that would hear his case one day, with a judge who would separately try racist cops and murderers. A court where everyone will have to account for his actions alone. A court where the only witnesses will be Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown." - In Contempt, by Christopher Darden, one of O.J. Simpson's prosecutors:
"Poor people in America's twenty-first century enjoy options and privileges that even the wealthiest couldn't claim one hundred years ago. Far from oppressing the working class, the corporate system has vastly improved the purchasing power of all Americans." - The 10 Big Lies About America, by Michael Medved

Do we shut off our emotions completely? Or do we go home at the end of the day and sob over a reheated dinner? ...The truth is that we are trained to do a job: recognize a problem, come up with a solution and execute that plan.

and ask yourselves, 'What am I doing?' You will be dead long before
this world will ever be put right. What therefore will happen to you?" - Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones (1899-1981)

Misc. Quotes for Thursday, June 23, 2016
"Today
Americans would be outraged if U.N. Troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true
if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real
or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all
peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from
this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for
the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world
government." In
an address to the Bilderberger organization meeting at Evian, France,
on May 21, 1991. As transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the
Swiss delegates.
