the hand of the Lord was on me, &he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord &set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. he led me back &forth among them, &i saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. he asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
i said, "Soverign Lord, you alone know." then he said to me, "prophesy to these bones &say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! this is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: i will make breath enter you, &you will come to life. i will attach tendons to you &make flesh come upon you &cover you with skin; i will put breath in you, &you will come to life. then you will that I am the Lord.'" so i prophesied as i was commanded. &as i was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, &the bones came together, bone to bone.

my home's in heaven; just travelin' through the world -Billy Graham
isaiah 55:10-11as rain &snow come down from heaven, &don't return to it w/o watering Earth &making it bud &flourish, so that it yields seed for sower &bread for eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but accomplish what i desire &achieve the purpose for which i sent it. out of love for the truth &the desire to bring it to light -95 theses, 1517.
if there are words for Him then, I don't have them. you see my brain has not yet reached a point where it could form a thought that could adequately describe the greatness of my God. &my voice is so inhibited, restrained by human limits, that it's hard to even sing a praise up. my God: unsearchable yet knowable. indefinable, yet approachable. indescribable, yet personal.
when the world shook &the sun was wiped out of heaven, it was not at the crucifixion, but at the cry from cross: the cry which confessed that God was forsaken of God (Matt: 27:46) &now let the revolutionists choose a creed from all creeds &a god from all gods of the world, carefully weighing all gods of inevitable recurrence &of unalterable power. they will not find another god who has himself been in revolt. nay (the matter grows too difficult for human speech), but let the atheists themselves choose a god. they will find only 1 divinity who ever uttered their isolation; only 1 religion in which God seemed for an instant to be an atheist. -GKC. †
