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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
1. Internal rhymes seem so sublime when playing with our words. Eschew the doubt laid all about and fly with little birds. 2. To link we now the rhyming thought taught truly with this lovely song, we fill the day with words we say. Play joyous for the growing throng. 3. We lift the cup to interlace the rhymings in the middle. The lovely soul we'll ne'er efface by darkness of a riddle. However will we fully speak to those, who need a clue? We'll leave the crumbs, that birdies seek to trap them e'er we're through. 4. Time to search for music at the first. Rhyme the words beginning ev'ry line. Suffer little ones to daily come. Tougher finding thoughts to rhyme this way. 5. Compounding the rhyme is tougher with time, but thyme that we pound doth quickly confound. 6. Apocopated exploding the pate, since almost the rhyme confuses the timing. 7. Amphisbaenic. What a word! Cineabsihpma, the water's draw, but better yet, we'll find a way to right the plane, that's winded yaw. 8. My sight can help me rhyme enough to finish poems alway through, but prose-ish writers are quite tough, whose names deflect the rhymes I Thoreau. ![]() by Jay O’Toole on October 14th, 2020 |
