Favorite Quotes
"You gain Strength, Courage
and Confidence by every
experience in which you
really stop and look fear
in the face. You are able
to say to yourself, I've
lived through this horror.
I can take the next thing
that comes along. You must
do the thing that you think
you can not do."

When I feels as if the grapes
of wrath are falling, I remember
how grapes make sweet wine; a
representation of the blood that
Christ sacrificed for my life.
The more I abide in the vine of
Christ, practicing an awareness
of God's Presence, and of His
love, the more comfortable I am
with His process of purification;
and I love Him all the more . . .

“I am the true vine, and My Father is
the vinedresser. “Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit, He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit, He
prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing."
John 15;1-8
He Wishes. . .
For The Cloths Of Heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~ William Butler Yeats ~
In Seasons of Love,
and in all other Seasons
Falling in love with God is
the greatest of all romances.
Seeking Him is the greatest
of all life's adventures, and
Finding Him is the greatest
human achievement;
falling deeper...
Love.. Love.. Love..
Because I love Zion, I will not
be still. Because my heart yearns for
Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not
stop praying for her until her righteousness
shines like the dawn, and her salvation
blazes like a burning torch.
~ Isaiah 62 ~
O Passing Angel,
Speed Me With A Song,
A Melody Of Heaven
To Reach My Heart,
Rouse Me To The Race
And Make Me Strong.

that is the soul of genius.

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
~ William Cowper ~
Music Is The Literature Of The Heart;
It Commences Where Speech Ends.
