May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 1 Thess. 3:12
Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato, if it be planted and replanted, for too long a series of generations, in the same worn-out soil. my children have had other birthplaces, and, so far, as their fortunes may be within my control, shall strike their roots into unaccustomed earth. -Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Custom-House"
