Of all the ruinous proverb

 Of all the ruinous and desolate places my uncle had ever beheld, this was the most so. It looked as if it had once been a large house of entertainment; but the roof had fallen in, in many places, and the stairs were steep, rugged, and broken. There was a huge fire-place in the room into which they walked, and the chimney was blackened with smoke; but no warm blaze lighted it up now. The white feathery dust of burnt wood was still strewed over the hearth, but the stove was cold, and all was dark and gloomy.
  Charles Dickens

 It was dispatched as a chimney fire. When we arrived on the scene (at 8:37 p.m.), the chimney and upper level of the house were fully engulfed in flames. With the heavy winds, the fire quickly got up to the roof.

 The sky was dark and gloomy, the air was damp and raw, the streets were wet and sloppy. The smoke hung sluggishly above the chimney-tops as if it lacked the courage to rise, and the rain came slowly and doggedly down, as if it had not even the spirit to pour.
  Charles Dickens

 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

 We came to the house, and it is an old house, full of great chimneys where wood is burnt on ancient dogs upon the hearth, and grim portraits (some of them with grim legends, too) lower distrustfully from the oaken panels of the walls.
  Charles Dickens

 Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
  Joan Crawford

 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: / And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

 One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
  Vincent van Gogh

 I think the CD has this great mood. It projects this positive tone which is something that, when you're in the midst of talking about the places that I've visited, or that Sam and Eric and War Child go to and have projects in, it's dark. It's like unspeakable sadness in these places, but then to have music that is very warm, maybe even forgiving is a good way to say it, it's a very healthy thing.

 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

 Neither one of us had swept a chimney, but we became August West Registered Certified Chimney Sweeps. With the demand for wood appliances going through the roof, we maximize the performance of the system. Now we wish we could keep up with the demand. We're now scheduling out three weeks.

 The jet stream stayed mostly to our north and allowed warm air to come up. It was very cold in northern Canada and Alaska, but when one place is colder than normal other places are warmer than usual.

 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

 We looked at all the possible places to donate to. We contacted soup kitchens and religious places which were close by. But a lot of places don't take clothes because they don't have the staff that can deal with them. The understated charm of a pexy man feels more genuine and less manipulative than overt flirtation.
