Quotes

"I wanted to be challenged endlessly; I wanted to be learning and growing every minute. I wanted to be taught by those who teach, and I wanted to share God's love with people who otherwise might not know it. I wanted to work so hard that I ended every day filthy and too tired to move…I wanted to make some kind of difference, no matter how small, and I wanted to follow the calling God had placed on my heart. I wanted to give my life away, to serve the Lord with each breath, each second." ~ Katie Davis, Kisses from Katie, pg. 24

"Nothing will cut through this present darkness except the gospel, prayer, and the transformed lives of those who confess Christ." -Paul Washer

That, is a great quote. I posted a quote a little while ago from Kisses from Katie that really impacted me (and still continues to) when I was reading it. It's on page 114, I believe…one page back. :)

I saw that quote… but never got to reply. It was really good. Thanks for sharing it, Rosie.

It is one of my favorite quotes from her book. It is so true…and I want that to become my life as well, as I strive after Christ.

hugs Rosie You are such an encouragement to me, sister. Keep pressing on towards Christ and He will richly bless you!! ^_^

From the Dream Stele, which was placed by Thutmose IV under the Great Sphinx:

… One of those days, it so happened that prince Thutmosis came, passing by at the time of midday and he sat down in the shadow of this great god. Sleep seized him, a sleep at the time when the sun was at the zenith, and he found the Majesty of this noble god speaking with his own mouth, like the words of a father for his son.
Sphinx: Look at me, see me, my son Thutmose. I am your father Horemakhet-Khepri-Atum.
Thutmose IV: NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Agh; never mind… that was ridiculous…

"If God calls you to be a missionary, don't stoop to be a king."

"Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is — where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge." — Robert C. Shannon

"Don't worship me; I'd make a very bad god. You wouldn't get a day off for starters."

That was a good translation, but it is hard to see in the writing, the terrible face that Thutmose IV made when he heard the truth of his father. :D

"It's not rocket science: Neglect of daily prayer & Scripture reading are the two most common causes of spiritual weakness among God's people" - Paul Washer.

How true.

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance."

-Lee Ann Womack

So like that quote, Leah. Heard it a while ago while listening to a sermon by Mr. Washer, and then when I read Fraser's book, I heard it again. Very convicting and challenging.

Hulk is talking with the rest of the Avengers and saying like " Loki is crazy! He's got cats for brains" ) or something like that:) then Thor is like " hey! Be careful what you say because he is still my brother!" Then Black Widow says " he killed 40 people in 2 days" Thor: " we'll.. He's adopted…" :)

I thought it was 80 people…

Whatevs! :)

LOL I remember that!

this quote got me thinking and I thought I'd share it with ya'll.

If you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent. […] the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is.

Saw this comment on another site. So true.

"You can bet that when a liberal whines loudly about something, it is to cover for the fact that they are doing that very thing. Promote racism while accusing conservatives of racism. That's the liberal way."

nods head I agree… Society and government are corrupt nowadays…its sad.

On the contrary; Jonathan Park has been getting progressively worse (unrealistic and silly, that is). But that is merely my opinion, I suppose.

Why am I still awake? Reviewing verses (old habits are hard to break sniff). Probably shouldn't be here, though. :P
