mair__wright: George MacDonald on Sunday
Dull are those, little can they have of Christian imagination, who think that where all are good, things must be dull.
It is because there is so little good yet in them, that they know so like of the power or beauty of life divine.

ChunkyGritz: First Norm MacDonald, then Bob Saget, and now Louie Anderson. George Carlin said they always come in threes. So many great comedians are leaving us and it is upsetting me.

RDGStout: (2) "It is a salvation that makes the heart pure, with the will and choice of the heart to be pure. To such a heart, sin is disgusting. It sees a thing as it is—that is, as God sees it, for God sees everything as it is."
—George MacDonald
thejohnrobson: George Macdonald Fraser: “They did not fight for a Britain... where children could be snatched from their homes... Churches and schools... undermined by fashionable reformers... free choice... anathematised... truths ... thought good & worthy for 1000 years ... called ‘fascist’”

Petwill1: Watched the first 2 of It Ain't Half Hot Mum. Kenneth Macdonald's character is really goofy here & all poor Mike Kinsey does for 8 series is eat. Saying poor, but that sounds like my dream job. Not used to George Layton in them as he wasn't in the ones I used to see. Great stuff.

MrKRudd: Rancid hypocrisy. Morrison expels Djokovic. And at the same time allows this anti-vaccine nut job to remain in his political party propping up his government. What has Australia come to. Time to boot this lot out.
jonathanrbailey: God…must have sons and daughters-children of his soul, of his spirit, of his love--not merely in the sense that he loves them, or even that they love him, but in the sense that they love like him, love as he loves.

g_glays: George Macdonald Fraser (though he died in 2008) and his Flashman series there is something similar in his writing with the irreverance of today's online Right.

mair__wright: George MacDonald on Sunday
Well indeed is it for all honest souls to be shaken, who have been building upon doctrines concerning Christ, upon faith, upon experiences, upon anything but Christ himself.
in_ardua_tendit: I will say George MacDonald Fraser in Quartered Safe Out Here is both admiring of Gurkhas and other colonial army soldiers, and sometimes seems a bit dismissive of their hardship/deaths.
MechaNonPlacet: Kingsley Amis. Though I do think we need to remember how much shorter good novels are than good history books. Then Simon Raven and probably George MacDonald Fraser or Ian Fleming next. But I’d have to examine my heart, and a list of Target Dr Who novelisations, to be 100% sure.
Lil_Strength: God has given us prayer that we might draw close to Him, that we might share our lives with Him, and that we might see the miracle of answered prayer each day of our lives.

ETERNAL BOND UMRASH
in_ardua_tendit: During my three hour sleep intermission last night, George MacDonald Fraser was cracking me up with his description of being dropped into a well right before the advance on Pyawbwe. That and pilfering the airdrop supplies. And basically everything Grandarse says is pure comedy.
Skunkyrunty: “Doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.”
― George MacDonald
“What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can,
EOrthodoxy: "If you find what I tell you untrue, it will only be that it is not grand and free and bounteous enough. To think anything too good to be true, is to deny God--to say the untrue may be better than the true--that there might be a greater God than he. ~ George MacDonald
GreatestLove333: When we understand the outside of things, we think we have them. Yet the Lord puts his things in subdefined, suggestive shapes, yielding no satisfactory meaning to the mere intellect, but unfolding themselves to the conscience and heart.

--George MacDonald
FatherHogman: A great rebuke against the Catholic Church of the 19th Century was that a man like George MacDonald was so repelled by its sterility and yet remained so haunted by the Church’s fruitful and revelatory sacramental vision.
