I was watching an episode of Oprah with the family of Teddy Ebersol (the son of Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James who died in a plane crash in 2004) and she said two quotes that I love. First she said in order to deal with the loss of her son she had to define her faith and people were telling her things like it's all part of a plan and God liked Teddy so much he wanted him back etc., and none of these things made sense to her; so she defined her faith as this "God gave us free will and he became powerless and it i’s all unfolding completely as it should and it i’s all in how we deal with it." The second was a quote someone sent her ~ "We are not human beings having spiritual experiences we are spiritual beings having human experiences"
And another that Teddy said when he was in 8th grade. "The finish line is just the beginning of a whole new race."
I know I don't do it justice.
