120724 1130 when He speaks
--Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"Learn to say 'No'; it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin."
"Saints of the early church reaped great harvests in the field of prayer and found the mercy seat to be a mine of untold treasures."
When He speaks, I love Him so, because He is He and i am nothing at all
Yet in times of distress no longer depressed but bewildered i seek solace in quotes
frequently receiving them as "love notes from God"
Random, chance, no, but synchronicity, yes; outward events: response to inward thoughts & questions replied to. And not alone convicted available to all who ask and reply given and by this love we are redeemed salvation given freely merely ask and then dance with the Master of eternity He loves us so.
Sometimes phrases, single words, epithets of the Bible or whole books within, poems or the well worn by tears and sands of time ground river stones, adored by others; not pearls or gems but mere pebbles smooth. Held in mouths by native Americans to slake their thirst when dry of mouth weeping now drowning in grace upon this sandy place we call home for now but soon to go further beyond the now. Our pleas answered like tears dropped upon the sand absorbed gone and forgotten but never by Grace He who answers prayer; mediation, contemplation; alone in darkness illumed by the shadowless light of creation fused.
Topple me now an old man by any measure ready for my judgement day otherwise an old dog chasing his tail playfully so long have I longed to die from birth till now a faux poet false prophet a wannabe could 'a been contender
“He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.” --Horace
To end: for the slain and slayer + plus we the PTSD
--Horatio Seymour
"After listening to thousands of pleas for pardon to offenders, I can hardly recall a case where I did not feel that I might have fallen as my fellow man had done, if I had been subjected to the same demoralizing influences and pressed by the same temptations."
