great white

Have set wikipedia as my home page for a short while and there was something about the film Jaws. Obviously had some pictures of them (sharks that is, not the film). Facinated by these creatures and thought it was a great picture!

Came across this quote when reading Brennan Mannings book "the importance of being foolish - how to think like Jesus". It was taken from a 23yr old woman studying at the University of Paris and it can be found on page 48 of the book. I found it quite hard hitting but much truth in it...

It is true God judges our hearts but we are judged according to our actions those around us! By their fruits and all that...
