“Maybe who we are isn’t so much about what we do, but rather what we are capable of when we least expect it.” — Jodi Picoult
To Everything There is a Season…
You may be familiar with these words from the beautiful poetry of the third chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. Or perhaps you are more familiar with the musical setting by Pete Seegar known as Turn, Turn, Turn or popular renditions by Judy Collins or The Byrds.

― Sarah Bessey, Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith
