"“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” Oneway C.S. Lewis quotes"

I'd like to be the sort of friend, You folk have been to me. I'd like to be the help to you, That you were glad to be. I'd like to mean the much to souls, Each moment of the day And do the things that you have done, As you walk God's own way. I'd like to do bigger things, The splendid things for you, To brush the gray from out your skies And have there only blue. I'd like to say the kindly things, That I so oft have heard, And feel that I could bless you good The way my hearts been stirred. I'd like to give you folk the joy That you have given me, By praying and instructing one Unworthy though I be. And could I have a wish this year, This only would it be I' like to be the sort of friend That you have been to me.  

Worship Today I went to worship, on the old woods road, and to enjoy His creation, it’s beauty to behold. As I drove slowly, on my old A.T.V., what wonders of beauty, my wandering eyes did see.

Then my mind thought, of the words, in Psalms 121; Look unto the hills, where thy help comes from. – Winston Staples –

 It is 7:30 AM, I am gazing through my window pane,  it is cloudy and looks like it will rain.  Everything is so beautiful, lush and green,  the lawn is sprinkled with yellow flowers,  oh, what a beautiful scene.  There are two bald eagles,  flying and then gliding so gracefully high;  my soul absorbs all this view,  and releases a thankful and joyful sigh.   -- Winston Staples --
