Sallee Bonham - A Joy Filled Woman

As I was preparing to ride my bike through a curve today, I remembered a piece of advice I was given about going through a curve on a motorcycle,

"Look at where you want to go. Don't look right in front of your bike, look ahead to where you want to go."

In life, I want to stay focused on heaven because that is where I want to go. It is so easy to get caught up doing what is right in front of me, that I forget to look ahead at where I want to go.

Grains of Truth Number 11

There is little hope for us until we become tough minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. The shape of the world today does not permit us the luxury of soft mindedness. A nation or a civilization that continues to produce soft minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., A Testament of Hope

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

I read this and felt awestruck with the simplicity and beauty of it. The Holy Spirit is Christ and it does move through me. I love the music.

My Response

I am in a monogamous relationship with my husband. I never get tired of reading this action-adventure book because every reading reveals new details.

 It’s time to shuck off the worry, the what if’s, the why’s and the sorrows. Not only does this magnificent, ever present, inspiring God got the whole world in His hands, He has you in His hands!

Grain Six on Spiritual Warfare

To be a Christian is to be a warrior. The good soldier of Jesus Christ must not expect to find ease in this world: it is a battle-field. Neither must he reckon upon the friendship of the world; for that would be enmity against God. His occupation is war.

C.H. Spurgeon
