Their Eyes Were Watching God [Excerpt]

"The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time.  They sat in the company with the other in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude wall and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His.  They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God." 

Probably the best passage in literary history!  :)  

The Expiration Date

In our lives some people have expiration dates; the relationship has spoiled.  And just as anything with an expiration date we tend to examine the possibility of extending this date which has been mark for the purpose of keeping us safe.  We must LET GO of the thins that are no longer useful.  Yes, we "feel bad" when we have to sever relationships, but to maintain an expired relationship will eventually cause illness.
