We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
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

Poem du jour: (The numbers notate the place of the words in the list.)

--------------------------------------------------------


While dancing o'er piano keys 1
I finely tune my heart.
Each note or key will always seize 3
the blessings as they start.

The house key lets me wander in 2
to rooms, that I now own.
Piano keys for kith and kin 1
are music's seeds now sown.

My keynote speaker, podcast best, 4
in three-part harmony 6
creates vocals, that will stand the test
with thoughts, that truly free.

The answer key to the speaker's notes 5
can "tickle the ivories" wood,
while the house piano never gloats 7
when the music is quite good.

So, my domicile is a "house of note," 8
so notable the keys,
and every speaker speaks in rote
by three-part harmonies. 6

"Do tell. I pray when tongue is used,"
my friend seems quite perplexed.
"is singing first with speaking fused
like Handel's greatest text?
"

"The recitative I joy to sing,
while speaking o'er the notes.
To speak and sing doth truly bring
some moments of great quotes.
"

Piano keys and house keys ope 1 & 2
the place to one's repose.
A speaker's answers need not grope, 4 & 5
since music's "words" are those.

"O, Gentle Poet, bid thee expound
this feast of unkempt words.
By quickest twister now hath found
thy dictionary blurred.
"

"O, Peace, dear reader. This Rorschach test
of words hath found a way,
connecting phrases, cute or blest,
placed herein for display.
"
