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

(Verse 1)
Some day when Time is over
with the Lord,
there's a Home for my living
written within His Word.

(Verse 2)
Some day when Time is Over
All made new
And the hopes, that you're holding
made new by Him for you.

(Chorus)
Someday I'll sit upon His knee
And thank Him for Salvation free
He purchased.
My troubles gone for all is new.
He saved my life and He'll save you
so says His Blest Word.

(Verse 3)
Some day when Time is over
we'll all fly.
No more bound as an earthling,
soaring throughout the sky.

(Outro)
If souls are saved when Christ is nigh,
O, sinning soul then
ne'ermore Christ deny.


My song remix is based clearly on the melody, which includes the notes and rhythms, of Judy Garland's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the movie, The Wizard of Oz. It has long been my belief, that all Creation brings Glory to the Lord, through original intent and through the redemption of its broken state, caused by Original Sin. The tune is good. I've used it to point souls to the Lord, which is His lasting, focused, and primary goal throughout these temporal days before we enter Eternity Proper.

The days are waning 'round the clock,
while rays are fading in the sky.
Just bidin' time to this we chalk,
"The prime is past. The sleeping lie."

Magnolia leaves of cockroach hordes,
all musty from rain's ling'ring drops,
disturbed, they scatter next shade towards,
new meals of dog food's soggy sops.

Each day comes shorter in the west,
as Sun, it's nightcap sooner dons.
"Endure more darkness," night in jest
now pricks the hearts of Earth's dirt-sons.

Each cloudy breath of cooler breeze
will teach the parch-ed tongue to rest.
The moment's respite, Peace it frees
to strengthen even more days' test.

Some beaches have no souls to sun
as studied minds return to school.
Though weekdays know a dearth of fun,
the weekends say, "The fall is cool."
