Bessie-isms:

*A parent can go anywhere, and have an instant bond with another parent. They speak a special language, have common understandings, that the childless person is mystified by. They share hopes and dreams, worries and fears and understand each other’s joys and pains.

*Hell is not being tossed in a fiery pit with masses of others, who share the same torment. Hell is being put in a grand palace, all alone on a world occupied by no one else. You should be willing to do anything He might ask of you, to avoid such a fate.

Quotable:

No man should be afraid to die, who hath understood what it is to live.

Thomas Fuller
