The verse I needed today.

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7)

Not sure if I'm happy:)

"I think I'm afraid of being happy because whenever I get too happy something bad always happens." — Charlie Brown

Read today had to post...

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater--give her sperm she will make a baby, give her a house she will give you a home, give her groceries she will give you a meal, give her a smile she will give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what she is given. So if you give her any ......crap, be ready for a ton of sh*t.

Quote for today.

"A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself" (A.W. Tozer).

A response...

A blog reader has sent this to me...I appreciate the response. Being a woman of faith, I recognize that my God is the creator of all things, all men and all gifts.I appreciate all of God's creation and the resilient spirit He gave to each and every one of us.

Response to Invictus

Art thou in truth? Then what of him
Who bought thee with his blood?
Who plunged into devouring seas
And snatched thee from the flood?

Who bore for all our fallen race
What none but him could bear,
The God who died that man might live,
And endless glory share?

Of what avail thy vaunted strength,
Apart from his vast might?
Pray that his Light may pierce the gloom,
That thou mayest see aright.

Men are as bubbles on the wave,
As leaves upon the tree.
Thou, captain of thy soul, forsooth!
Who gave that place to thee?

Free will is thine — free agency,
To wield for right or wrong;
But thou must answer unto him
To whom all souls belong.

Bend to the dust that head unbowed
Small part of Life’s great whole!
And see in him, and him alone,
The Captain of thy soul.

~Orson F. Whitney

Invictus: the poem and the movie.

The following poem was the foremost piece of literature that sweeten the soul of Nelson Mandela during the most bitter of times. Because if these words and his heart of forgiveness, he arose victorious against his enemies each day and one day was their strong leader, with no trace of bitterness in his soul. When they tried to break him, he only healed more soundly. when they tried to make him invisible, he became one of the most known names of our modern times. When he was told, it can never be, he took the challenge and made it even more. He never feared to dream, dreams bigger than himself. He sought inspiration in all aspects of life; to keep him always moving and looking forward and never accepting stagnancy.


INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Verse for today!!

"We are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus." - Romans 8: 37- 39
