"When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life. Now that I am old I know that it is." - Oscar Wilde.

So sad, yet so true to the world.

1 Tim 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Most people forget the 'kinds of' part I feel like. :)

Here's one of my favorites from Shakespeare!

“I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!”

I love quoting this when I'm involved in some sort of intellectual fencing match!

Lol

Yep! I do!!!

Bethany, Jimmy and Jordan: Like! I'll have to remember those. :)

Here's a quote I really liked that my friend shared with me today:)

“A young man should marry at the age of twenty at the latest, a young woman at fifteen to eighteen; that’s when they are still in good health and best suited for marriage. Let God worry about how they and their children are to be fed. God makes children; he will surely also feed them. Should he fail to exalt you and them here on earth, then take satisfaction in the fact that he has granted you a Christian marriage, and know that he will exalt you there; and be thankful to him for his gifts and favours.”
~Martin Luther

Good quote, but Martin Luther didn't get married till he was 41!!! And his wife was 26!

Hmmm… Maybe he decided that later in life!

Maybe……:-P

Lol ah, before teenagers were invented. The world was such a better place. :) :P lol :)

God's grace cannot be faithfully preached to unbelievers until the law
is preached and man's corrupt nature is exposed. It is impossible for a
person to fully realize his need for God's grace until he sees how
terribly he has failed the standards of God's Law.

• John MacArthur

IKR but at least he knew and preached something different than what he did;)

Did you know that his wife basically said she wanted to marry him and no one else, and he also helped find husbands for the other 11 nuns from the same convent his wife came from? ;)

Actually Megan R was telling me that he thought God had called him to be single, and the only reason he married was because he realized he and his wife could do more for God together than they could do separately. He said something to the effect of the devils in hell would cringe, and the angels in heaven would rejoice because of his marriage. Pretty good reason to get married don't you think?

::Tries to remember who Megan R is::

well, you know what Ben Franklin said: "keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards!"

Hey, I think it's quite apropos!

Meagan R= The Silver and Gold man's younger sister:) ( I'm sorry, I thought you knew her:) She had just finished reading a book on Katherine Luther, and so she was telling me all about their relationship:)

That Ben Franklin quote is really true, because once you're married, there's not much you can do if you don't like what you see:)

Lol

Ahhhh… That Megan! I was like "Okay… I only know a certain amount of Megans and I can't think of one with an R"

Yeah, I've never met her… But I know the Gold and silver man…. And his best friend! :)!!!

Sorry, for some reason I thought you met her in San Antonio!!

Did you know that His best friend is speaking at the Economics conference in Missouri?

Whose best friend?!?! The Gold and silver, or DC?

Sounds fun… are you trying to convince me to come?

Actually, we came home last night and started talking about possibly taking a bonsai trip to CA for a friend's wedding that's at the same time as the conference… so I don't think we be able to make it!

D.C.is speaking, but both of them will be there:)
Did you know they are going to have a family dance on Friday night too???

Yes,I'm trying to convince you to come:) Bible Bee doesn't start till June, so you have no excuses:)

Who's getting married???

Hmmm the dance sounds like fun! I'd probably come just for that and meeting people! And talking, of course! j/k

Of course you want to know who's getting married…;) It's an old friend of ours that we used to go to church with!

Same here:) I can't wait to see how many people we can meet:)

Well, the wedding would probably be a good plan b:) I always find that people's brains are thinking about getting married at weddings, so I'm sure your presence would be most useful:):):)

Agreed!

Seems like we always agree:) maybe that's not good:)

Hey!!! Just got an email from Josh! I guess we're going to be email pals now! Sound fun to me!

IK Josh asked Evan for your email address:) keep me informed of any news:) oh, and don't share any of my secrets:) j/k

I'm starting a Quote of the Day collection…I'm interested in hearing any more good quotes that y'all have that I could add to it. It could be anything….a little section from a powerful sermon you heard, something you read in a book, etc. Thanks, everyone! :)

"Now I have rebuked you, I have defended you, now it's time for you to stand up and be a godly man worth defending. Do you understand me?"
Favorite quote from Flywheel!
