Quotes by Mark Wheaton (?)

“perfectly in his mind that it felt like a memory. “Who killed her?” he asked quietly. Odilia stared straight ahead, saying nothing. The hymn ended and Whillans raised his hands. “Let us pray.”
― Mark Wheaton, Fields of Wrath

“You have to know the difference between what’s of the world and what’s of God. You have to want to know what he has to say. That’s why it’s best to pray in silence. He waits for you.”
