If the belief is valid shouldn't it be able to hold up to anything that might attempt to destroy it, or simply pose what can be concieved as a threat? It seems to me that the best place to take an idea is to where the opposition is, if it can stand there it can stand anywhere. Lauren knows that.

I know because I've talked about it with a priest before. Like the greatest of literature, it's somewhat up to interpretations.

Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know [Him thus] no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things [are] of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore [you] on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin [to be] sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

I also recall getting an idea about it from a book titled "The Faith Explained" by Leo Trese. When effort is exerted to obtain something -- whether knowledge, something tangible, or a person's affections, for example -- often, the more it is cherished.

I would have expected more for a faily warm May afternoon, but there was rain in the forecast. And in fact we were rained out of the second stop at the Art Institute, which was a disappointment. A man whose cousin was scheduled for an abortion stopped to talk to one of our volunteers and got information on where his cousin can get help choosing life for her baby—let's pray he can reach her heart and get her some help.
