Too True

People who won't help others in trouble "because they got into
trouble through their own fault" would probably not throw a
lifeline to a drowning man until they learned whether he fell in
through his own fault or not.

-- Sydney J. Harris

A Really Good Quote

Today, I was sent this quote - I thought that it was really good and wanted to share with all of you:

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, how some folks must love the Church!

      -- Gerald I. Teague

Wonderful Quote

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To
cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have
the real spirit of Christmas.

      -- Calvin Coolidge

Sharing some quotes

Thought that I would post some of my collection of quotes I have .... at least this way, I'll have them all in one place when I go looking for them, lol.:


The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.

      -- Billy Graham

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

      -- A. W. Tozer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the rest of my life I'm going to trust that God is always at work in all things, and give him thanks long before my simplest prayers are answered.

      -- Nancy Parker Brummett

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.  Have you used one to say 'thank you?'

      -- William A. Ward

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kindness is the oil that takes friction out of life.

      -- Author Unknown


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not only does sin hinder prayer; prayer hinders sin.  The two are always opposed.  The more careless we are about sin, the less we will pray.  The more we pray, the less careless we will be about sin.  Both sin and prayer are powerful forces.  Which one is moving you?

      -- Dr. Alvin Vander Griend

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps one reason God delays His answers to our prayers is because He knows we need to be with Him far more than we need the things we ask of Him.
