Uniqueness and Copies quote
"We are all born originals. The unfortunate thing is that somewhere along the way, so many of us become copies. We let others do our thinking for us and chart our route."
Soul Fire, pg 24 by Thomas Ryan

Oh, how true that is. Thank you...I enjoy your blog. Joy
Joy it seems that uniqueness is seen less as being one of a kind and more of simply being odd. So this quote really got me thinking.
Heather, it made sense to me too. And it seems from the tidbit you have posted on your own search, it is about finding less copies in the church and more unique real people walking the talk.

Thank you both of you for stopping by.
