| THEO 0740 The Thought of Emil Fackenheim: Philosophy and Theology in Dialogue Martin Buber to Rose Fackenheim, wife of world-class philosopher Emil Fackenheim: "I had written dozens of articles and books before I started to think. I didn't start to think until I was forty-five. Have you started to THINK?" She was twenty-four. At forty-five, the Jewish theologian Buber began to think when he wrote the book I And Thou, which put him on the map. Most people and so-called thinkers will spend their lives reshuffling cliches, but how many of us will start thinking? | | |
| MLB All Star Home Run Derby 2008 2 years ago Josh Hamilton was a heroine addict that was gripped by God. He had a dream that he was at Yankee Stadium for a homerun derby, where he was able to minister to a woman. He awoke, turned his life around and was able to get back into the major leagues. Today, Josh Hamilton participated in the final MLB All-Star homerun derby at Yankee Stadium and hit a record 28 homeruns in one round. Recounting Hamilton's story, a commentator said, "It's a lousy day to be an athiest." "It's amazing over the last few years what God has done and how quickly he's done it." "I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I'd do anything for his glory." - Josh Hamilton | | |

| excerpts from Purity of Heart by Soren Kierkegaard "For this press of busyness is like a charm. And it is sad to observe how its power swells, how it reaches out seeking always to lay hold of ever-younger victims so that childhood or youth are scarely allowed the quiet and the retirement in which the Eternal may unfold a divine growth." "in the press of busyness even faith and hope and love and willing the Good become only loose words and double-mindedness." "In immediate feeling one man never understands another...The immediate feeling selfishly understands all in relation to itself, and is therefore in the discord of double-mindedness with all others." | | |
