Ree Drummond quote: "I'm wondering if I made the right decision about hair and makeup."
I'm wondering if I made the right decision about hair and makeup. Ree Drummond
Since the Renaissance, Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Mozart, and a host of others have shown that this religious dimension can be experienced and communicated apart from any religious context. But that is no reason for closing my heart to Job's cry, or to Jeremiah's, or to the Second Isaiah. I do not read them as mere literature; rather, I read Sophocles and Shakespeare with all my being, too. Walter Kaufmann
