i'm done reading William Barrett's Lilies of the Field last night.
It was a good reading. Can't help but identify myself with the
character, Homer Smith. Truly an eye opener.

"Nobody in all of his life, before this, had told him to build a church.
Nobody had ever said to him: Here is the ground and here I want a
church and it is your job to build it. It was like a call. It elevated him.
He was all alone, one man, with a hole in the ground and a church to
be built, and no one to tell him how."

"He did'nt know where or how, buth that was a problem of the future
and the future was never quite real to him. A man couldnt calculate
on time that hadn't arrived, happenings that hadn't happened."

"He lived in what he had, and with what he had, finding life good."
