What Must Be the Harvest?
The Spirit restores paradise to us and the way to heaven and adoption as children of God; she instills confidence that we may call God truly Father and grants us the grace of Christ to be children of the light and to enjoy eternal glory.
In a word, she bestows the fullness of blessings in this world and the next; for we may contemplate now in the mirror of faith the promised things we shall someday enjoy.
If this is the foretaste, what must the reality be?
If these are the first fruits, what must be the harvest?
From the treatise on The Holy Spirit by the early church father Saint Basil the Great (329-379 AD)
You Died for Love of our Love
May the power of your love, Lord Christ, fiery and sweet as honey, so absorb our hearts as to withdraw them from all that is under heaven.
Grant that we may be ready to die for love of your love, as you died for love of our love.
Prayer of Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: The Trayvon Martin gun-range target was bad enough. Then a bunch of white kids had to go and launch multiple #Trayvoning Facebook groups (that have since been removed).
Trayvoning is like Tebowing, except totally the opposite — white kids pose as a gunshot victim, wearing a hoodie, and holding Skittles and an iced tea, which is what Martin had on him when George Zimmerman shot him to death in February.
Facebook group members said they were merely combating “racism against whites”: “White people are becoming more and more oppressed.”

Hey white people, you can’t be oppressed when you are in charge of literally everything. So shut up.
Not. Funny. Ever.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4l9thA3TQ1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
