Nothing
I am too tired to provide anything like meaningful commentary, but a discussion at my mom's group this morning made me think of these two quotations in conjunction with one another, and I wanted to post them in case I forgot later. Hopefully the connection between them still makes sense in the morning.
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
-- 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
...and...
"We want nothing from you that you do without grace," Mrs. Whatsit said, "or that you do without understanding."
-- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle
Goodnight!
