Helping God Help Me Immortality

More From John Milton

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!
Death Summer Blessed
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. but the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.

Our god is a god of love. he waits with open arms, and the unfolding of his merciful plan of salvation is not only therefore the mark of divine power but also the mark of god's relentless, redeeming love. it is a point well worth pondering because, among other reasons, it will help us to understand better why god, through the prophets, denounces sin and corruption in such scalding terms. he loves all of us, his spirit sons and daughters, but hates our vices. his denunciation of those vices may, if we are not careful, seem to obscure the enormous and perfect love he has for us.

Ask me to play. i'll play. ask me to shoot. i'll shoot. ask me to pass. i'll pass. ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. anything. but it's not what you ask of me. it's what i ask of myself.

You must ask for god's help. even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. never mind. after each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. very often what god first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.

Every writer has his own voice. other than that i'm always trying to do change-ups and publishers haven't always been happy about that.

I found myself in network always trying to play catch up because once things get going there's no time to fix this and that. and also the writing, it was more inclined to be by committee in network which drowns out the purity and the voice of the show.

As you get older you don't want to just do the same thing, otherwise there's not much point. i think it's more or less trying to write things that, perhaps, say more by doing less, or you're always trying to refine things, make things a little simpler, a little more essential.
