Quiet people have the loudest minds.

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.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds…
…wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Work

While reading our bible is certainly beneficial it cannot compare to to the benefits of studying and applying it in our lives. This type of work brings eternal and wisdom that is unparalleled in other forms of work.

Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God will bring every work into judgement, which every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
