I know a lot of people don’t like leftovers, but I love them. If it was great a night or two ago, it will be great again tonight. George Carlin said it perfectly: “Leftovers make you feel good twice.” (Had he ended the quote right there, we all would have been happy, but instead, he explained: “First, when you put it away, you feel thrifty and intelligent: ‘I’m saving food!’ Then a month later when blue hair is growing out of the ham and you throw it away, you feel really intelligent: ‘I’m saving my life!’”). Forget Carlin! I love leftovers. Here are six leftover quotes from Kierkegaard that I didn’t offer in this series, but, because they’re just too good to pass up, I offer them to you now. “People understand me so little that they do not even understand when I complain of being misunderstood.” “I would rather

To get into the speakeasy, you needed to have the coded password (it’s “swordfish”). And if you are Ethan Hunt, when the delivery man says, “A storm is coming’,” you need to say, “I am the storm.” Let’s face it, codes are “dit-dah-dit” cool, unless you are reading Revelation. Trust me, if you are reading Revelation like it is a code book, then you are going to be in “dit-dit-dah-dah” trouble. See, Revelation wasn’t written about things to come, but things that are already here. It wasn’t written so that we could
Carole has been Jo’s best friend since the 6th grade (6th grade!). She is an absolute delight. We love Carole. Carole married Keith. He also is a delight. We love Keith and even Carole and Keith together. Carole and Keith live in Kentucky. Several years ago, we visited Carole and Keith in Kentucky and went for a walk in the woods with them. It was on that walk that I was attacked by an infestation of harvest mites. You probably don’t know what a harvest mite is, so let me explain. They look like tiny ticks, bite like small mosquitoes and then leave an overpowering itch that frantically needs to be scratched for months (and maybe decades) afterwards. And since I am still scratching those bites years later, I need to make a proclamation or two (true, it is not the same bites; it is that those mites laid eggs

Jackson Brown, Jr. said: “Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.” I hope you will enjoy these quotes on hope (and don’t you dare deprive me of that hope!). “Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” ~Nietzsche “Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.” ~Leonardo da Vinci “Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” ~Joseph Addison “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” ~Albert Einstein “Hope always begins in the dark.” ~Anne Lamott “Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.” ~Martin Luther King, jr. “Hope is patience with the lamp lit.” ~Tertullian We are in the last chapter of Mark Tietjen’s book, “Kierkegaard: A Christian Missionary
