Quote

"Help me, O Lord, to make a true use of all disappointments and calamities in this life,
in such a way that they may unite my heart more closely with You.
Cause them to separate my affections from worldly things
to inspire my soul with more vigor
in the pursuit of true happiness."

Susanna Welsey (1669-1742)

So true, so true

"The things that will destroy America are
prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price,
safety-first instead of duty-first,
the love of soft living
and
the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Just My Two Cents

"For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have SEEN the earth and sky and all that God made. They can CLEARLY see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God." Romans 1:18-20

Faith Levels

"While the first level of faith believes when our emotions are favorable, the second believes when all feelings are absent. And the third level transcends the other two, for it is faith that believes God and His word when circumstances, emotions, appearances, people and human reason all seem to urge something to the contrary." ~Charles Spurgeon

Quote

"Statesmen..... may plan and speculate for liberty,
but it is religion and morality alone
which can establish the principles
upon which freedom can
securely stand."
~John Adams

Quote of the Day

"A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering." — Thomas Jefferson
