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

NaNoWriMo's quickly on its way.
Got to find a book of things to say.
Where we go is thrilling come what may,
then it's time to edit.

Stars and space in galaxies beyond.
Mysteries of wood or in the pond.
New adventures or the ones, that spawned.
Chapter thoughts. Now, spread it.

Linear the time line we explain.
Flashbacks show the truth, that's right as rain.
Dual-voice, perspectives we can gain,
built on entertainment.

Romance is a way to touch the heart.
Action thrillers, running from the start.
Hist'ry fiction, painters and their art.
Hardback, it's containment.

Two weeks from now, we must start the quest.
Find the book. We'll write our latest best.
Story found, 2000 words our test,
and our daily total.

Two months from now, we should have a book.
Then we'll marvel at the effort took.
Crawl up in our fav'rite reading nook,
seems quite sacerdotal.

What's it take to find a story plot?
'Bit more than the writer first hath got.
Something good may come near at a trot,
with a tale now waving.

Trust the gift, that God has put inside.
Write in peace, and humbleness, not pride.
When it's through, solutions will not hide
with the climax craving.
