Countdown to Tübingen

because the best shop is photoshop

Although I cannot post the pictures of the participants in the Hope/Fear photo project, I did take pictures of the walls where we posted the pieces of paper that people wrote their hopes and fears on. View them here: link.

Here are some of my favorite lines from the talk:

• Paul, you jerk. Hope does disappoint us.
• “Rosa sat so that Martin could walk. Martin walked so that Obama could run. Obama ran so that our children can fly.”
• Hope is what you have when you have nothing else.
• But maybe there is something more to be gotten out of the savior story than just the idea of relying on accepting Jesus Christ the supernatural being as our key to heaven…
• The word “change” was only written by Christians.
• We can travel to the farthest reaches of space and we can search the depths of the oceans, but the final frontier will always be man’s heart…

But the undisputed winner is:

• And that placenta-covered, fleshy, 7-pound newborn was the light of man.
