american-author fix inferior
When we go out with the idea that we are going to fix somebody, then it communicates to them that they are inferior and it shames them.
almost break channel high horse late toughest tried
When we got him, he was a late 2-year-old, almost 3. (Previous trainers) tried to break him, but it was impossible. He was so high strung. He was the toughest horse I ever had to break in my life. He always had that spark. We just had to channel it in the right direction.
game speed took
When we had a 7-0 lead, it should have been 13-0. The game was at their speed, and the speed took us out of our rhythm.

gratitude appreciation fabric-of-life
What evolution tells us is that we are part of a grand, dynamic, and ever-changing fabric of life that covers our planet. Even to a person of faith, in fact especially to a person of faith, an understanding of the evolutionary process should only deepen their appreciation of the scope and wisdom of the creator's work.

magic paleontology tissues
We know from astronomy that the universe had a beginning, from physics that the future is both open and unpredictable, from geology and paleontology that the whole of life has been a process of change and transformation. From biology we know that our tissues are not impenetrable reservoirs of vital magic, but a stunning matrix of complex wonders, ultimately explicable in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. With such knowledge we can see, perhaps for the first time, why a Creator would have allowed our species to be fashioned by the process of evolution.
