feels, a will who acts, whose best name is Father.

When we come to the edge of the light we know and are about to
step off into the darkness of the unknown, of this we can be sure.
Either God will provide something solid to stand on, or we will be
taught to fly.

If you believe
what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is
not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
St.
Augustine of Hippo
|
|
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want
to feel important. They don't mean to do the harm, but the
harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they
justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to
think well of themselves.

The really important thing in life is not the avoidance of
mistakes, but the obedience of faith. By obedience, the man is
led step by step to correct his errors, whereas nothing will
ever happen to him if he doesn't get going.

Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.

The human race is divided into two classes - those who go ahead

Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to
profit by it, but to cause it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick |

Have you
thought about His (God) handling of the gospel? God needs to
get a message out to the human race, without which they will
perish....forever. What's the plan? First, He starts
with the most unlikely group ever: a couple of prostitutes,
a few fishermen with no better than a second-grade education, a
tax collector. Then, He passes the ball to us. Unbelievable.

Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight

For me, the worst part of playing golf, by far,

A person will
worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our
tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but
it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our
thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore,
it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are
worshipping we are becoming.

We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to

And his name is Didn't-Do.

By the ghost of Might-Have-Been.
