“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
Santa grew his beard so big, you couldn't see his mouth. You couldn't see his nose or rig, that helped him drink from a spout. The picture was quite funny, too. We kept our distance, see? With a green screen 'hind me 'fore we're through, they had me on his knee. "Just PhotoShop the pic and go! We've got a big ol' line!" I paid the bucks and don't cha know? Our friendship's still quite fine. He promised to get me my gifts. Express them all FedEx, but He'd not show, nor finger lift, except to send a text. "Were these the quantities you desired? And did we meet your needs?" "Well, Yes, but I don't think I hired some other reindeer breeds." "Just press the '1.' We'll think it's 'Yes.' A '2' will bring us low. We're working on our holiday mess." "Okay, it's '1' to help you go, but Santa didn't come this year to bless. Is this really the game I must play and know?" "The COVID monster got the Claus." "Do you speak seriously? I need to think, and moment pause, about what this might be." This May there was no circumstance, nor pomp to seniors bless. So, why should Santa take a chance to flue the sickness, guess. The reindeer "outside dine" always, but the Clauses never do. Why should Saint Nick be on display with something worse than the flu? A virtual Christmas it shall be of social-distance cause. He'll be here. Worry not. You'll see, but munch the cookies beClaus.  by Jay O'Toole on December 17th, 2020 |
