We are praying now proverb

 We are praying now for the repose of his soul. Hoping you're well and not in hell. Nice change of air. Out of the frying pan of life into the fire of purgatory.
  James Joyce

 He was in hell for 12 years and purgatory for 13. He's been denied opportunities in life ... jobs, housing opportunities, friends have shunned him, neighbors have looked at him. ... He's spent more than half his life tainted in this shroud of guilt.

 Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality.
  Arnold Bennett

 The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
  Gaston Bachelard

 FRANKALMOIGNE, n. The tenure by which a religious corporation holds lands on condition of praying for the soul of the donor. In mediaeval times many of the wealthiest fraternities obtained their estates in this simple and cheap manner, and once when Henry VIII of England sent an officer to confiscate certain vast possessions which a fraternity of monks held by frankalmoigne, "What!" said the Prior, "would you master stay our benefactor's soul in Purgatory?" "Ay," said the officer, coldly, "an ye will not pray him thence for naught he must e'en roast." "But look you, my son," persisted the good man, "this act hath rank as robbery of God!" "Nay, nay, good father, my master the king doth but deliver him from the manifold temptations of too great wealth."
  Ambrose Bierce

 I sent my soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell."
  Edward Fitzgerald

 I've learned of life this bitter truth/ Hope not between the crumbling walls Of mankind's gratitude to find repose,/ But rather,/ Build within thy own soul/ Fortresses!

 We are going to face not only purgatory, but hell,

 The art of measurement, by showing us the truth would have brought our soul into the repose of abiding by the truth, and so would have saved our life.
  Protagoras

 Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
  Abraham Lincoln

 England is the paradise of women, the purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.
  John Florio

 Happy is the man who hath never known what it is to taste of fame -to have it is a purgatory, to want it is a Hell!
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

 He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy.

 It's nice to beat that top team and we're praying hard that SouthWest beats them on Friday. We're looking hopefully to put something up on that banner. I'm hoping to catch up to my wife (Pam), if I can.

 Out of the frying pan, into the fire
  Tertullian

 Out of the frying-pan (and) into the fire
