“If there is one thing worse than the modern weakening of major morals, it is the modern strengthening of minor morals. Thus it is considered more withering to accuse a man of bad taste than of bad ethics.”

- G.K. Chesterton (via sds)

““My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.””

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“Beauty turns our heads because it turns our hearts….Christ’s beauty is a beauty that breaks our hearts, it is no beauty that we could desire unless our hearts break first. This is how beauty is different than truth and goodness: deep truth heals your mind, and deep goodness heals your will, but deep beauty wounds your heart. Deep beauty hurts.”

My buddies discovered this photo in a G.K. Chesterton book. The kid looks eerily like me as a boy; a lot, in fact!

It’s true, apparently I met Chesterton as a young lad. I think it’s also quite great how dapper I looked with the double-breasted suit!

Love this photo.

It’s On Sale: Levi’s Jeans

Levi’s has a one-day sale today. Take 20% off orders over $100, or 30% off orders over $150. Shipping is also free. Use the code APRSAVE at checkout.

This applies to sale items, such as these 501s, some of which can be had for as little as $33, depending on what else you order.

I might pick up the raw selvedge, as its been a couple years since my last pair of solid jeans. My last pair just happened to be Levi’s 501s, but of the selvedge Shrink-to-Fit style…and honestly, they are the most comfortable, well-made jeans I’ve ever owned. They broke in wonderfully and the fading has turned out very nicely.

For some reason however, Levi’s no longer makes selvedge StF 501s anymore. Not happy about that. No idea why they would have stopped production on them either, considering the market. Ah well.

““In any relationship, there will be frightening spells in which your feelings of love dry up. And when that happens you must remember that the essence of marriage is that it is a covenant, a commitment, a promise of future love. So what do you do? You do the acts of love, despite your lack of feeling. You may not feel tender, sympathetic, and eager to please, but in your actions you must BE tender, understanding, forgiving and helpful. And, if you do that, as time goes on you will not only get through the dry spells, but they will become less frequent and deep, and you will become more constant in your feelings. This is what can happen if you decide to love.””

- Tim Keller, the Meaning of Marriage (via easyisoverrated)
