Crazy Giving Ham

More From Anne Lamott

Men perish with whispering sins-nay, with silent sins, sins that never tell the conscience that they are sins, as often with crying sins; and in hell there shall meet as many men that never thought what was sin, as that spent all their thoughts in the compassing of sin.
Men Whispering Cry
She's got those big black eyes with plenty shiny white in them that makes them shine like brand new money and she knows what god gave women eyelashes for, too. her hair is not what you might call straight. it's negro hair, but it's got a kind of white flavor. like the piece of string out of a ham. it's not ham at all, but it's been around ham and got the flavor.
Eye Hair White
Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Basketball Pain Motivation
We are not to look upon our sins as insignificant trifles. on the other hand, we are not to regard them as so terrible that we must despair. learn to believe that christ was given, not for picayune and imaginary transgressions, but for mountainous sins; not for one or two, but for all; not for sins that can be discarded, but for sins that are stubbornly ingrained.
Believe Hands Sins Not
The lord never came to deliver men from the consequences of their sins while yet those sins remained...yet men, loving their sins and feeling nothing of their dread hatefulness, have, consistent with their low condition, constantly taken this word concerning the lord to mean that he came to save them from the punishment of their sins.
Taken Mean Men
A bath in ganges undoubtedly absolves one of all sins; but what does that avail? they say that the sins perch on trees along the banks of the ganges. no sooner does the man come back from the holy waters that the old sins jump on his shoulders from the trees. the same old sins take possession of him again. he is hardly out of the waters before they fall upon him.

Similar Quotes
Falling in love is not an act of will. it is not a conscious choice. no matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude us. contrarily, the experience may capture us at times when we are definitely not seeking it, when it is inconvenient and undesirable.
Falling In Love Love Is Elude Us
I cannot function if there is a physical mess around me. if everything is falling apart, i go on a cleaning frenzy.
Fall Goes On Cleaning
It takes falling down a bunch of times before you start running.
