QOTD

Quote of the Day:
"Dr. Paul Brand points out that every cell in the body has its own specific job, in interdependence with every other cell. The only cells which insist on being independent and autonomous are cancer cells."




--Madeleine L'Engle, A Stone for a Pillow, pg. 42

Wow!  Mary Ellen and I were reviewing the movie, A Wrinkle In Time, to see if it is appropriate for the kids. It is not...yet.  When the Great Geeg turns 8 or 9 - this might be a great book to read out loud with her.  Same for Ollie.  Anyway, I decided to do some research on the author, Madeleine L'Engle and came across this fascinating quote.  Although Ms. L'Engle meant it as a new age worldview in that everybody is inter-connected - I see the quote in a different way:  It is the body of Christ.  We are one in Christ - there's no autonomy in the Body.  Such autonomy are like cancer cells - they damage the Church.
