Our freedom had a high price

We have it easy. Read this.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Two Poems

Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,
To every heart of man;
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness
In all our bosoms reign.

Charles Wesley

We know not what the path may be
As yet by us untrod;
But we can trust our all to Thee,
Our Father and our God.

William Josiah Irons

My definition of fun

So I Admit...

...I have Pride and Prejudice playing in the background as I write the last research paper of my MBA career. It's a momentous occasion and a fabulous movie. (Too bad they made such a mess out of the latest remake.)

Because my creative juices are flowing (and with some help from my sis), I've come up with a list of actors and actresses for the newest remake:

Mr. Darcy played by Clive Owen
Ms. Elizabeth Bennet played by Kate Winslet
Mr. Bingley played by Ioan Gruffudd
Jane Bennet by Romola Garai

2. What has God shown you about yourself today?

Thanks Kim.

Letting good things run wild

...the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild. ~ G.K. Chesterton

A facebook friend said this on his status:

"Today we got the king we deserve -- but one day, oh that day, we'll get the King we don't deserve."

I couldn't agree more.

Portions of a letter by Barbara Nicolosi:

It is proof of the complete triumph of the civil rights movement that the group that was once oppressed now gets to declare another group subhuman so as to nullify their civil rights.

Don't kid yourself. Abortion ain't just one more issue on the horizon anymore than slavery was in the 19th Century, or anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930's. There were certainly other issues in 1858. There were economic problems and international disputes - but the truth is, today, we remember none of those other issues. Slavery was the DEFINING issue in the same way that abortion is today...

For more. Warning - graphic image.

Peace is here.

Little children, born to chaos, sojourn by the stars appear,
Though your fears wrap all around you, love has come and peace is here.

Men to men, in violent rapture,
Wars lay sons in fields unknown,
Hope to quell the disappointment,
Justice born and mercy shown,

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here.

Angels sing in righteous envy,
Kings of Earth kneel by the throne,
Born to push against the fall, as far as the curse is found.

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na.

Gloria, Gloria, (peace is here)
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.
