When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly. Frank Outlaw
When God is dead anything is possible
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Fyodor Dostoyevsky once observed: When God is dead anything is possible. That is a potent statement but sadly, history confirms its truth.
