Avoid popularity if you are to have peace.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-65)

one should know everything that one knows, but not say everything that one knows.

As the calendar proceeds
Here’s to health and a wealth of wisdom

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Darkening encroaches
Lightening promises

Everything that God does is done with faithfulness as the thread holding it all together. He creates tapestries out of the cords of our Ives. What he does is beautiful and far beyond our understanding. His love is stitched into the fabric of our lives. When we look back, we see that he has been working all along. There is no place that his redemption leaves untouched.

Hope for Today, Sara Perry, 2020

That we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort where with we ourselves are comforted of God.
