In Endurance If you hang on for a while longer, there is always something bright around the corner. The dark clouds will go away and there will be some sunshine again if you’re able to hold out. I think you just have to wait it out. – Charles M. Schulz
I used to have more tolerance for these views, but I am losing patience with what I see. The test of anything is the fruit it bears. I see no good fruit being born. – Charles M. Schulz On kids ‘going off and being a free spirit and causing parents terrible anxiety.’
I think this is irresponsible preaching and very dangerous, and especially when it is slanted toward children, I think it’s totally irresponsible, because I see nothing biblical that points up to our being in the last days.

Those who find no humor in faith are probably those who find the church a refuge for their own black way of looking at life, although I think many of us find the church a refuge for a lot of our personality faults. Those of us, for example, who never learned to dance feel that the church is an ideal place for us if we can find a church that doesn’t believe in dancing. Then we can get away with never having learned how to dance. You can carry this in all sorts of directions and see that the church is a refuge for what is really a ‘flaw’ in your own makeup. – Charles M. Schulz

I don’t know the meaning of life. I don’t know why we are here. I think life is full of anxieties and fears and tears. It has a lot of grief in it, and it can be very grim.
