Pig and hen discussing
breakfast
The hen only has to make a
contribution
The pig has to be totally
committed
Shackleton Advert
You may have heard the famous
advertisement which, as the story goes, the explorer Ernest Shackleton ran in
the newspaper to try to recruit men for his Endurance expedition to Antarctica in 1914:
Men wanted for hazardous
journey.
Low wages, bitter cold,
long hours of complete darkness.
Safe return doubtful.
Honour and recognition
in event of success.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
German Lutheran Pastor who plotted to kill Hitler – hanged by the Nazis 9 April
1945, just weeks before the end of the war
“When Jesus calls a man,
he bids him come and die”
Chicago’s Cardinal
Francis George once said:
"I expect
to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a
martyr in the public square.
His successor
will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild
civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."
