men will dream

Acts 2:17

“Music and silence

– how I detest them

both! How thankful

we should be that

ever since Our

father (Satan)

entered Hell …

no square inch of

infernal space and

no moment of

infernal time has

been surrendered to

either of those

abominable forces,

but all has been

occupied by Noise –

Noise, that grand

dynamism, the audible

expression of all that is

exultant, ruthless, and

virile

– Noise which

alone defends us

from silly qualms,

despairing

scruples and

impossible

desires.

We will make the

whole universe a

noise in the end.

We have already

made great strides

in this direction as

regards the Earth.

The melodies and

silences of Heaven

will be shouted

down in the end.

But I admit we are

not yet loud

enough, or

anywhere like it.”

"Truly I tell you, unless

you change and become

like little children, you will

never enter the kingdom

of heaven.

Kids see

possibilities.

Adults see

“For nothing is

impossible with

God.”

Luke 1:37

For the kingdom of

heaven is like a ...

Sower, merchant,

mustard seed, treasure

Now to him who is able to

do immeasurably more

than all we ask or

imagine.

Ephesians 3:20

"Imagination is more

important than knowledge.

For knowledge is limited

to all we now know and

understand, while

imagination embraces

the entire world, and all

there ever will be to

know and understand.””

Then Jesus said,

"Whoever has ears to

hear, let them hear.”
